Mega PTM held at 1,000 government and 1,500 MCD schools of Delhi

The meeting was conducted in over 1,000 Delhi government schools and over 1,500 MCD schools.

MCD Schools Mega PTM: The government of Delhi conducted the first-ever joint parents-teacher meeting (PTM) in all the Delhi government and MCD schools on April 30. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that his government is now focusing on working towards the transformation of the civic body-run schools. The meeting was conducted in over 1,000 Delhi government schools and over 1,500 MCD schools.

"Today, a mega PTM is being held in both MCD and Delhi government schools in Delhi. Just as Delhi government schools have been transformed with the help of all students, teachers, and parents, we will now work together to transform MCD schools as well," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.

Education Minister Atishi, who also visited some schools, said in 2015 when the Kejriwal government was formed, the condition of Delhi government schools was the same as MCD schools now. There was no cleanliness, no drinking facility and benches and desks were broken. But after years of hard work and dedication, the old education system in Delhi was fixed, he said.

While interacting with parents, she expressed her delight at the number of parents who turned up early in the morning and said, "This shows that parents eagerly want to participate in their children’s education, and after Delhi government schools, now this opportunity will be provided to parents in MCD schools too."

"The education revolution that was brought in Delhi government schools will now be brought to MCD schools too," she added. Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Atishi said it was in MCD for the past 15 years and left the schools reeling under several problems. "Our children will progress only when schools and parents will together participate in the process of their education," she added.
