AIDSO protests Karnataka's school closure plan

AIDSO opposes Karnataka's plan to close thousands of schools, citing a list of 1,518 schools in Shivamogga district alone slated for closure. The organization alleges the government intends to consolidate schools into fewer Karnataka Public Schools (KPS) under a Magnet School Scheme, potentially closing 40,000 schools statewide. AIDSO plans to mobilize parents and villagers to protest the closures, questioning the necessity of shutting down schools with up to 500 students.
