Unacademy stirs row sacking tutor for 'vote for educated candidates' appeal, Kejriwal comments

New Delhi/IBNS: Ed-tech platform Unacademy has triggered a row sacking one of its tutors for urging students to "vote for educated candidates" in the elections of the country.


Without taking any name during his lecture, Karan Sangwan appealed to the students to not elect uneducated people in the elections.

Justifying the action of firing, Unacademy co-founder Roman Saini tweeted, "We are an education platform that is deeply committed to imparting quality education. To do this we have in place a strict Code of Conduct for all our educators with the intention of ensuring that our learners have access to unbiased knowledge.

"Our learners are at the centre of everything we do. The classroom is not a place to share personal opinions and views as they can wrongly influence them. In the current situation, we were forced to part ways with Karan Sangwan as he was in breach of the Code of Conduct."

Sangwan, who said he would share details about the controversy on YouTube on Saturday, stated as quoted by NDTV, "From the past few days a video has been going viral due to which I am in controversy and because of that controversy my several students who are preparing for judicial services examinations are facing a lot of consequences.

"Along with them I have to also face consequences."

Kejriwal supports sacked tutor

Backing Sangwan, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whose government claims to revolutionise education standards in the national capital, tweeted, "Is it a crime to appeal to educated people to vote? If someone is illiterate, personally I respect him. But people's representatives cannot be illiterate.

"This is the era of science and technology. Illiterate public representatives can never build the modern India of 21st century."

क्या पढ़े लिखे लोगों को वोट देने की अपील करना अपराध है? यदि कोई अनपढ़ है, व्यक्तिगत तौर पर मैं उसका सम्मान करता हूँ। लेकिन जनप्रतिनिधि अनपढ़ नहीं हो सकते। ये साइंस और टेक्नोलॉजी का ज़माना है। 21वीं सदी के आधुनिक भारत का निर्माण अनपढ़ जनप्रतिनिधि कभी नहीं कर सकते। https://t.co/YPX4OCoRoZ
