Termination of the services of incompetent government school teachers
Termination of the services of bureaucrats responsible for education plight
Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) by teachers to ensure education quality
Prosecution of teachers who take government salaries but promote private
tuitions
No budget should be allocated for school infrastructure such as buildings, etc.
Expenditure should only be on making new curriculum, appointment of good
teachers, and content quality of books
Education in each class must target a particular type of job
Extreme restrictions should be put on politicians who are making false claims
Constitution of an independent core committee of external experts to oversee
and ensure the quality of education
An exclusive website should be created by the government to inform the
public about each and every penny being spent on education
