India's Education Minister Promises Reforms Amid Protests

India's Education Minister Promises Reforms Amid Protests

In India, there are big protests because some important exams for medical school had their questions leaked.

This affected a lot of students and even led to some students taking their own lives.

The protests started small but grew very big, with many young people and even opposition leaders joining in.

The government says they will fix the problems and make the exams better.

The opposition wants a big discussion in Parliament and quick changes to the education system.

An activist named Sonam Wangchuk even went on a hunger strike to support the students.

The government and the opposition have different ideas about how to handle the situation, but everyone agrees that something needs to be done to help the students.
