Education sector escalating in the capital

Moreover, the education minister informed that the government has made 7,000 classrooms and would soon complete the construction of 13,000 classrooms, accommodating more children in the schools than were promised in the manifesto.

Indeed, the lack of teachers is one of the main challenges before the government and schools.

Improving the standard of education

The Aam Aadmi Party government further informed that more and more children are getting admission in government schools. In fact, the students of private schools are now preferring government schools.



Shaheed Hemu Kalani School Principal Dr LK Dubey says, "Last year 587 students got enrolled from private schools and this year 959 students have enrolled from private schools to govt schools."
