APCC Chief Claims 16,000 Schools Run With One Teacher
Y S Sharmila, the leader of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee, said that more than 16,000 schools in the state have only one teacher.
She thinks this shows that the government is not doing enough to help children learn.
She called the Prime Minister and the state chief minister "all talk and no action."
Sharmila wants the state to get enough teachers for every school.
No response from the ruling party was reported.
APCC chief Y S Sharmila claims 16,357 Andhra Pradesh schools operate with only one teacher.
She accuses Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of "all talk and no action."
Sharmila says the single‑teacher situation reflects the performance of the TDP‑led NDA government.
She demands that the state secure minimum support to provide teachers in every school.
No immediate response from the TDP was reported.
