“I am happy to see the growing interest of people to learn from our education model and reforms. Only when nations learn from each other can we build an ideal education system -- one that helps students realise their potential and become conscious citizens that the world can be proud of," the minister said.

In order to implement the best school leadership practices from the world in our schools, the government look forward to working with them in the future as well. "To provide world-class education to children from all socio-economic backgrounds, it is important for our teachers to know the global best practices. In this journey of Delhi's education revolution, Cambridge University has played a crucial role to help turn our vision into a reality,” he added.

Sisodia also visited Chesterton Community College at Cambridge University, which is one of the schools where the Delhi government's school heads go to understand the leadership challenges as part of their training.
