90 percent of students who achieve a 10/10 GPA in 10th class every year come from budget private schools. Moreover, it should be noted that budget private schools are where the best talents are seen in the national level exams like NEET, IIT and Civils.

They should be given the facility of government teachers like life insurance, health insurance, pension by the government. Government provides lakhs of life insurance if a construction worker dies while working. Even the private teacher is not getting such help

Today the education sector is divided into two sectors, government and private. Government teachers are getting salaries in lakhs, all amenities, health insurance, life insurance, retirement pension in thousands of rupees, he said.

Shekhar Rao said that the number of students studying under these government teachers who are getting all these facilities is less than 40 percent. So the TRSMA is demanding the Central and State governments to save the budget for private teachers who are providing more than 60% of intellectuals to the country.
