Expressing disappointment about the situation of government schools and teachers in Punjab, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal has assured that his party would provide eight guarantees to the teachers for comprehensive education reforms in Punjab if it forms government in 2022.

Kejriwal also called upon all teachers to join the AAP's campaign to transform Punjab's government school education system like Delhi.

The eight guarantees include creating a Delhi-like environment in the education sector in Punjab, regularising outsourcing and contract teachers, implementing a transparent transfer policy, banning non-teaching work from teachers, permanent recruitment on vacant posts, sending teachers abroad for training, bringing in a transparent policy for new promotions and providing cashless medical facilities for teachers and their family members.
