What Students Are Asking from the New Education Minister?
Raj Yadav came all the way from Ghaziabad and has been part of the protest for almost a month. He wants the new minister to look at every weak spot in the education system and fix it so that students never again pay the price for mistakes made by others. Shrishthi who lives in Laxmi Nagar in Delhi said the cost of education has hiked so much that many students have to work part time just to keep up with their studies. She said that when paper leaks and exam problems happen the damage hits students the hardest because they cannot afford to start again. She also wants more teachers in schools along with cheaper education and strong skill training in government run institutions.

He wants better quality learning in government schools along with a bigger budget for education and proper facilities for those preparing for UPSC, NEET and JEE exams.

Shaurya, who is studying in class 11 and preparing for NEET said the leadership change has given him hope that exam related problems will be handled better and paper leaks will not happen again. Gaurav Tomar, from Uttar Pradesh said education should be affordable for everyone and not limited to those who can pay the high fees.
