Arvind Kejriwal responds to the tutor’s firing following the “Vote for Educated” remark
In a statement, the ed-tech company claimed that because it can interfere with learning, it does not permit teachers to express their personal views in the classroom
Delhi: New Delhi On Thursday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal questioned the choice of ed-tech company Unacademy to fire one of its tutors for advising pupils to support “educated candidates” in elections.
Unacademy sacked Karan Sangwan after he made a plea to students not to elect illiterate people to positions of power and to vote for literate candidates in the next elections during a lecture. In a statement, the ed-tech company claimed that because it can interfere with learning, it does not permit teachers to express their personal views in the classroom.

Is encouraging educated people to vote against the law? I admire someone if they are illiterate. Representatives of the people, however, cannot be illiterate. The age of science and technology is now. Chief Minister Kejriwal posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, “Illiterate public representatives can never create the modern India of the twenty-first 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।

On Saturday, Mr. Sangwan promised to post information regarding the controversy on his YouTube channel.
Since a few days ago, a video has gained widespread attention because of me, and as a result, many of my pupils who are studying for judicial services examinations are suffering as a result. I must likewise deal with the repercussions along with them,” he stated.

Roman Saini, a co-founder of Unacademy, claimed that Mr. Sangwan had broken the conditions of his contract, which called for him to maintain objectivity in the classroom. The result was that his job had to be terminated by the corporation.
To do this, we have implemented a stringent Code of Conduct for all of our educators, with the goal of ensuring that our students have access to unbiased information. Everything we do revolves around our students. Personal thoughts and perspectives should not be shared in the classroom since they can negatively influence students. We were obliged to part ways with Karan Sangwan in the current situation since he violated the Code of Conduct,” Mr Saini wrote on X.
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.
Mr Sangwan’s dismissal sparked outrage among academics and the general public, with the hashtag “#UninstallUnacademy” trending on X.
