Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia held an interaction with the principals of the Delhi government schools on June 16. More than 800 school principals attended the meeting from all across Delhi.

The minister has asked schools to set minimum benchmarks in their schools regarding infrastructure, cleanliness and environment. For this, the government has decided to provide all the necessary facilities and funds to the schools, he said, adding that Directorate of Education (DoE) officials will visit the schools from time to time.

 "We need to think about our future strategies now to bridge the learning gap that has widened due to the pandemic in the last two years. We need to start from the point where we left two years ago and strategise accordingly. There is no rush to complete the syllabus. The focus of the schools should be on building conceptual understanding," the minister said.

Talking about the work done by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government on the schools in the last seven years, the minister said that the party has given a great model of education.

"It is the responsibility of the school heads to set their own accountability for their schools and ensure that nothing in the schools falls below the minimum benchmark set by them," the deputy chief minister added.
