New Delhi : Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Gopal Rai has criticized the Central Government’s response to recent controversies surrounding national-level examinations, arguing that replacing officials is not enough to address concerns over alleged irregularities in the education system.
In a statement shared on Monday, Rai said that the government was attempting to shift responsibility by removing top officials of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) instead of holding the Union Education Minister accountable for what he described as recurring problems in major examinations.

Commenting on recent developments, Rai claimed that students and parents across the country have been affected by alleged mismanagement and irregularities in examinations such as NEET, CBSE, SSC, and CUET.
Using the issue to question the government’s handling of the education sector, Rai said that administrative reshuffles would not resolve concerns regarding examination processes. According to him, accountability must extend to the highest levels of decision-making.
केंद्र सरकार शिक्षा मंत्री को हटाने की जगह, CBSE के चेयरमैन और सेक्रेटरी को हटा कर लीपापोती कर रही है। देश NEET, CBSE, SSC, CUET में गड़बड़ियां और अव्यवस्था के जिम्मेदार शिक्षा मंत्री का इस्तीफा चाहता है। pic.twitter.com/okYMMSXAr6
