Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has urged the younger generation in India to take a cue from the youth in Nepal, who have been protesting against exam paper leaks. Speaking at a public event, Kejriwal emphasized the need for Gen Z to raise their voices against such malpractices that undermine the education system.
Kejriwal's Call to Action
Kejriwal stated that the recent protests in Nepal, where students took to the streets demanding accountability for leaked examination papers, serve as a powerful example. He argued that Indian students must not remain silent when their future is compromised by corruption in the education sector. The CM highlighted that paper leaks not only demoralize honest students but also erode trust in the system.
Nepal's Protest Movement
In Nepal, thousands of students have been agitating against the repeated leak of question papers for major exams, including medical and engineering entrance tests. The protests have forced the government to take action, including the formation of a probe committee and arrests of those involved. Kejriwal noted that such movements can bring about real change when citizens, especially the youth, are united.
Impact on Indian Education
Paper leaks have been a recurring issue in India, affecting exams like the NEET, JEE, and state board tests. Kejriwal stressed that Gen Z must not accept this as normal. He called for a collective struggle to ensure transparency and fairness in examinations. The CM also urged political parties to prioritize education reform and address systemic flaws.
Kejriwal's remarks come amid ongoing debates on the effectiveness of the education system and the need for stricter laws to prevent paper leaks. He concluded by saying that the youth have the power to shape the future and must use it to demand justice.
