Lahore: All Asatza Alliance Punjab (AAAP) has announced that it will return their awards and shields to the Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif on December 31st, 2016 in protest against the policies being followed by the government in the education zone.
The main body of AAAP decided this in a meeting organized on Tuesday. While addressing the meeting Ramzan Inqlabi, Central President AAAP said that teachers of government sector schools wanted to know where Rs 31 Billion received from the World Bank and $541 million education aid had been spent by the Education Department.
He added that it seemed that the leaders had also spent foreign aid and loans of education on roads as well as bridges, which showed its anti-education and anti-teacher policies.
