In a recent statement, senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Prem Garg, has called for the mandatory implementation of the economically weaker section (EWS) quota in all private educational institutions in Chandigarh. Garg asserts that this decision is crucial to establishing permanent and equitable solutions for applicants seeking admission to private schools, ensuring a fair and inclusive education system.
Expressing concern, Garg notes that certain private schools are exploiting minority status to evade the mandated 25% EWS admissions. He emphasises the need for government intervention to enforce EWS admissions uniformly across all private schools.
Garg underscores the significance of providing quality education to every segment of society and views the mandatory EWS quota as a crucial step toward fostering an inclusive and diverse educational environment. He believes that such a measure will play a pivotal role in offering quality education to students from economically weaker backgrounds, ultimately creating equal opportunities and paving the way for a prosperous future.
The AAP senior leader’s stance aims to address disparities in the education system and promote accessibility to quality education for all, irrespective of economic backgrounds. As the debate over EWS admissions continues, Garg’s advocacy highlights the party’s commitment to creating a more egalitarian educational landscape in Chandigarh.
