DeTect: Images of well-maintained UP school are from 2016

CHENNAI: Images of a well-maintained govt primary school in Uttar Pradesh have gone viral. Many users lamented the fact that the improvement in govt schools in UP in the Yogi Adityanath regime has not made headlines globally.

The claims surfaced following an NYT report on the AAP government’s efforts toward improving the standard of govt schools in Delhi. Alt News found an article dated October 19, 2016, containing the same viral images of the school in Sambhal district of UP. The report talks about how the school improved after a new Principal took office in 2015.
