However, the Delhi Government did not inform about the process that it followed to select the teachers for training. The government also did not reveal the total expenditure being incurred on such training of teachers and the return on investment (RoI) for teachers’ training.

The report reveals that most school teachers are so raw that they are not even trainable. If government stops protecting them, these government school teachers – who are surviving on public money – will not be able to get any job in the open market because they do not possess domain knowledge of any subject.
Thus, according to the report, the government is wasting huge public money on schools and school teachers.
