The news is related to the education department where the government has decided to close 27 thousand government schools running in the state, after the decision is implemented, the department will soon lock these schools.

27 thousand basic schools are going to be closed soon in Uttar Pradesh, the education department is preparing to merge these schools. It is being told that the schools which have less than 50 children will be closed and their students will be shifted to the nearest school. The Basic Education Officer will prepare a report in this regard by November 14 and submit it to the government. Let us tell you that 27764 government schools in the state have less than 50 students, so these schools with less number of students will be merged with nearby schools.

Opposition targeted
