#PSPCL2600 apprentice candidates completed their training & waited for recruitment opportunities,but many feel their experience has been ignored.
Their ongoing protest in Patiala is a demand for fair consideration,transparency,justice for thousands of trained youth.

Aam Aadmi Party’s ‘#SikhyaKranti’: New Labels, Old Neglect in the Politics of Education Revolution”
Rebranding without reform is not change—it’s repetition with better PR.
From Adarsh Schools (Captain govt) to Meritorious Schools (Badal govt) to now “Schools of Eminence” under Bhagwant Mann, the promise was “different politics.” The reality remains the same: not one of these models has been backed by permanent teacher recruitment.
While @harjotbains and the CM @BhagwantMann frequently highlight NEET/JEE successes, those results largely come from Meritorious Schools—where the very teachers delivering them have waited over 4 years for regularization, with repeated assurances but no policy. Despite being chairman of the governing body, the CM Bhagwant Mann has not held even a single meeting with the Meritorious Teachers’ Union @MTU_PUNJAB
“Schools of Eminence” appear to be more about repainting and renaming, while teachers are simply shifted from other schools—no new posts created, no fresh recruitment.
The implied model: shut down many schools, selectively upgrade a few, and market them as an “Education Revolution.”
Ground reality: out of approximately 1950 government senior secondary schools in Punjab, over 1000 operate without principals.
In Sangrur alone, the CM Bhagwant Mann’s own district, 65 of 95 schools function without a principal.
If this is a “Sikhya Kranti,” it is one of presentation—not policy.

Swati Pathak, student of Govt College for Girls Ludhiana, condemns today’s manhandling of #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians demanding promised jobs.
Before them, there were not enough regular professors; now that they are available, why does the @AAPPunjab government not want to save them?
CM @BhagwantMann, at your Patiala rally today, will you answer why teachers are being pushed to unemployment under your education model?

CM @BhagwantMann Govt Detains #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians Front members Over Education Reform Protest
At around 6 AM today, the police administration detained Assistant Professor Himanshu, Dr. Kuldeep Singh and Shamsher Gill of the 1158 Assistant Professors & Librarians Front, taking them to Police Station City Faridkot—simply for demanding a meeting and fulfillment of long-pending promises by @PbGovtIndia.
After repeated assurances and backtracking, is this the response of the @AAPPunjab government led by CM Bhagwant Mann?
Why fear dialogue with educators asking for #Justice_For_1158?

.@1158APFront5aab has stated that today again #Punjab education minister #HarjotSinghBains failed to hold meeting with them, which was consecutive 7th occasion when meeting could not materialise as earlier meeting we’re not held on Feb 6,13, 24,27, March 20 & 26, even after fixing these meetings
In 2023, a young professor protesting for station allocation died by suicide and held Pb Edu Min @harjotbains responsible for her death. Pb Govt shielded minister by promising Balwinder Kaur’s 5-year-old daughter a govt job in 2036.
When govts protect tainted and incompetent ministers, people like Laljit Bhullar will continue to harass individuals and push them toward suicide. @BhagwantMann@ArvindKejriwal
