Preferring quality for quantity, Khandu said the number of schools do not matter but quality of education does. In fact, he added that the huge number of govt schools in the state had deteriorated the quality of education. “You will be surprised to know that in the last 9 years we have shut down more than 600 schools. More will be closed in the coming days,” the CM said.We also published the following articles recently
