"When I was giving awards to the students, I saw confidence and happiness on their faces. Students who didn't receive the award this year I wish in coming years they will also receive the award," he added.
'No discrimination between govt and private schools, dream is to make Delhi centre of Education for World'
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that his dream is to make the national capital a centre of education for the whole world. The Chief Minister said this while attending an Excellence in Education Award event where he felicitated a number of students of Delhi.
While speaking at the event, the Chief Minister said, "A few days ago I met a woman on a flight who said that last year she also received the Excellence Award from a school. She was proud of it and I also felt good. We have been giving this award teachers of children since 2015. Now people consider this award as a big medal."
"When I was giving awards to the students, I saw confidence and happiness on their faces. Students who didn't receive the award this year I wish in coming years they will also receive the award," he added.
"In the last seven-eight years, the education gap between private and government schools has ended. Excellence Award is the confluence of both education systems. Now there is no discrimination between government and private schools," Kejriwal added.
He added, "There are around 1800 Municipal Corporation of Delhi schools. Their conditions are also not good but we will start trying to fix them soon."
"Our dream is to make Delhi the centre of education for the whole world. To improve education quality in the national capital the teachers and principals of both private and government schools have worked hard. The results so far are good and we will definitely succeed," the CM said.
