The Minister for Education, Kapil Sibal, and Anna Hazare exchanged words over the Lok Pal Bill, with Mr. Sibal claiming that the bill would not educate a child, and had nothing to do with state sponsored education.
Actually Mr. Sibal, the Lok Pal Bill *will* help educate children. The current government expenditure on education makes its way into the pockets of your colleagues, and bureaucrats and contractors connected with the education ministry. A small fraction of what is put aside actually goes into building school infrastructure and educating children.
If there are checks and balances in place, the money is more likely to reach government schools to provide infrastructure and teacher salaries, thereby educating children.
