Delhi Minister Gopal Rai criticised the BJP over the transfer orders for 5,000 teachers in Delhi government schools and said on Friday the party was trying to destroy the education system developed by the Kejriwal government by putting pressure on officials.

Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi unit chief Rai said the BJP's “work disruption campaign” to create hurdles in the functioning of the AAP government has been going on for years and has now reached its peak.

In a press conference on Friday, he said that Delhi's education system, which is known not only in the country but all over the world, is lame.

“The BJP has decided to destroy the education system developed by the Kejriwal government in Delhi as part of its 'Stop Jobs Campaign',” he said.

He said, “The biggest example of this is the overnight mass transfer of teachers in government schools in Delhi. Education department officials have ordered the transfer of teachers who have been working in schools for more than a decade.”

Rai said teachers in government schools are the backbone of Delhi's education system and there has been great progress after AAP came to power.

On June 11, the Directorate of Education issued a circular entitled “Online Application for Transfer of Teaching Staff to the Directorate of Education”, in which Article 16 states that all teachers who have served in the same school for more than 10 years, they must submit an application for transfer, otherwise they will be transferred to any school by the Directorate of Education.

Delhi Education Minister Atishi has directed the Chief Secretary to stop the transfer of teachers immediately.
