In a big boost to the education sector, the Aam Aadmi Party government will inaugurate over 5,000 new classrooms in more than 100 Delhi government schools.

Nagendra Sharma, advisor to the Delhi government, confirmed the information saying, "Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will gift 5,695 new classrooms to more than 100 Delhi government schools."

Sharma called this move the "biggest step towards expansion of educational infrastructure in the capital."

On Saturday, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia will first visit a government school in his constituency Patparganj and inaugurate a few classrooms there. Following this, classrooms in other schools will be gifted via video conferencing.

The Delhi government has been praised by parents for starting parent-teacher meetings in government schools on a regular basis.

Moreover, quality infrastructure in these government schools has also brought smiles and hope to many families to send their children.

The Aam Aadmi Party is likely to use this decision as an election agenda for the next elections.

Only a few days ago, the Delhi government had announced that it would regularise 15,000 guest (private) teachers. However, the Lieutenant Governor turned it down, quoting procedural issues.
