A day after mid-day exposed junior colleges that lack proper infrastructure to teach students and yet participated in the latest centralised online admission process, the education department on Tuesday decided to inspect every single institution in the city. The deputy director of education told mid-day that the inspection was long pending, as the education department’s regular tasks could not be undertaken due to staff crunch first and then Covid-19.
 
This is indeed a serious issue and the department will definitely look into this. There are two aspects of this problem and we have to deal with it with minute planning,” Deputy Director of Education, Mumbai, Sandeep Sangave, told mid-day. He said the education department will check whether the colleges have the infrastructure to cater to the students they have enrolled and examine their condition. Officials will also check the strength of teachers and their qualifications, as well as the number of students.
