Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia on Monday discussed Delhi’s education model in front of 122 education ministers and experts from across the world at Education World Forum-2022, in London.
Addressing the event, Sisodia, who is also Delhi’s Education Minister, said, “When I speak about the future of education, I do not mean only about the future of the students who are studying in the schools. But also about the future of families, societies and nations. Education today is not only about educating those who are uneducated and under-educated, but also about educating those who are being miseducated.”
Sisodia said the Delhi government strengthened people’s belief in the government education system by making the education sector a priority.
He further stated, “In 2015, there were student accounts of a collapsing government school system – dilapidated classrooms, outdated curriculum, zero facilities and no dignity in learning. Government school students were certain that they could never contribute to India’s future. However, we changed that perception in just a few years. Today Delhi government schools have become world-class. The schools are equipped with modern buildings, smart classrooms, and grounds with excellent sports facilities.”
Sisodia emphasised Delhi government schools have become better than private schools, due to which now parents send their children to government schools.
He said that the number of students in Delhi government schools has increased by 21 percent, compared to 2015.
