Akhilesh Yadav says Uttar Pradesh’s education and exam systems have collapsed

Akhilesh Yadav, senior leader of the Samajwadi Party, publicly accused the Uttar Pradesh government of allowing the state's education and examination systems to collapse. He made the remarks during a press interaction, highlighting what he described as a systemic failure that jeopardises students' futures.

The leader pointed to deteriorating standards in schools and colleges, alleging that the collapse of the examination framework has eroded public confidence in academic credentials. He warned that such a breakdown could have long‑term repercussions for the state's human capital and economic prospects.

As of now, the Uttar Pradesh administration has not issued an official response to Yadav's allegations, and the issue remains a point of contention in the state's political discourse.
