Extra classes will be organized for students who are weak in studies: Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said that if some children are weak in studies, extra classes will be organized for them. Responding to a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader who posted mark sheets of underperforming students on Twitter, Kejriwal said extra classes would be organized for students who were weak in studies. Kejriwal tweeted, “One of these children will become the Prime Minister of the country in the future and we do not want anyone with a fake degree to become the Prime Minister in the future.” It was estimated that every year more than one lakh children fail in class nine.

Manish Sisodia behind the transformation of Delhi government schools: Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that Delhi’s government schools were transformed in the last eight years because of Manish Sisodia, who used to wake up every morning at 6 a.m. and go out for his inspection. Kejriwal made this remark while laying the foundation stone of the new building block of the Government Sarvodaya Girls/Bal Vidyalaya in East Vinod Nagar. He said the school would look like Columbia University when it was completed. Speaking about the former Deputy Chief Minister and former Education Minister, Kejriwal said, “They (Centre) put Manish Sisodia in jail by accusing him of corruption. He is the same leader who used to get up at six every morning to go to the schools. The Chief Minister said that corrupt leaders do not visit schools at six in the morning for inspection. Kejriwal said, “Students of Delhi government schools are excelling in the field of education. They are also clearing competitive exams and becoming doctors, engineers and police officers.” The Chief Minister said, “There is one person behind this change in the education sector and that is Manish Sisodia.”
