Overview
- In a post on X on August 15, 2026, Arvind Kejriwal said that after Gen Z, a younger cohort he called Gen Alpha is now protesting to demand fixes in government schools.
- Kejriwal cited local demonstrations reported from Hamirpur, Dehradun and Barmer where students have complained about missing teachers, poor roads, and failing school buildings.
- He catalogued specific infrastructure gaps he says persist after decades of independence, including damaged walls and roofs, no toilets, no clean drinking water, and teacher shortages.
- Kejriwal contrasted those complaints with his party’s record in Punjab, asserting that AAP-run schools there have produced students who now sit for competitive exams such as NEET and JEE.
- The remarks are reported political commentary drawn from his social media post rather than new policy announcements, and they could sharpen public scrutiny of school conditions and prompt government responses or data-driven checks.
