General Education and Labour Minister V. Sivankutty on Sunday strongly criticised the Union Budget, alleging that it has completely ignored the public education sector and betrayed the interests of ordinary workers while favouring large corporate entities.
Addressing a press conference here, the Minister said it was unfortunate that the Budget has failed to give any priority to public school education, which plays a decisive role in shaping the country’s future. He pointed out that the Budget lacked any meaningful focus on infrastructure development or quality enhancement in schools from Classes I to XII.
