Reality – From 2019 to 2022, 2.75 lakh students increased in government schools and 5.53 lakh students decreased in private schools. If this is true then teachers should increase, not decrease. Despite the reduction of 40 thousand teachers, 22 thousand posts of teachers are vacant. So this proves that not only teachers teach computers. Teachers of vocational courses have not been appointed for 25 years. 32 thousand posts of teachers and 3500 posts of headmasters are vacant in schools.

Reality – Due to smart class rooms, the private tuition business in the state has increased to more than 500 crores. There are more than 30 thousand commercial tuition classes in the state. There are more than 50 thousand non-commercial tuition classes in the state.
Despite the closure of government schools and the opening of private schools, the number of students in government schools has increased. There has been a decline in private schools. This is an indication that privatization of education is also like the government. But, Gujarat is not like this.
Actually, the government should pay attention to the attitude of the people and increase the number of government schools.
