SFI Launches Nationwide Campaign to Address Government School Closures and Education Issues
The Students Federation of India (SFI) announced a nationwide campaign over three months to address the closure and merger of government schools, inadequate infrastructure, teacher shortages, and rising student dropouts. Citing data, SFI highlighted that 94,000 government schools closed in the last decade, with significant student losses, especially among girls and marginalized communities. The campaign includes school visits, rallies, and a 10-crore signature drive, demanding increased public education funding, reopening of schools, teacher recruitment, and improved facilities.
