TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday accused the British of destroying the Indian education system and turning it into an assembly-line of clerk making, as he called on students to train to become job givers, not seekers.
Kejriwal made the remark while addressing the inauguration ceremony of the east Delhi campus of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, during which he was interrupted by slogans allegedly being raised by BJP workers. Kejriwal dedicated the new campus to the country and termed it one of the best the country has.
”It has excellent facilities and in terms of architecture, it can be counted as one of the best campuses in the country. This campus will accommodate 2,500 students. It will benefit the economy of the area around it with the opening of shops and generation of employment opportunities,” he said.
”There was no campus like this in east Delhi. We prepared a model for school education where even those without money can get their child educated. Now, we have to focus on higher education,” he added. The CM slammed British bureaucrat Lord Macaulay for creating an education system in the 1830s that still exists, merely to churn out educated clerks.
