"AAP and CM Kejriwal have always prioritised education": Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi

New Delhi [India], July 18 (ANI): Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi hailed Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) model of education in the national capital, saying that the model has been discussed not only in Delhi but in the entire country. Oberoi said AAP and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal have always given priority to education.
"Aam Aadmi Party and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal have always given priority to education. The Aam Aadmi Party has given such a model of education in Delhi, which has been discussed not only in Delhi but in the whole country and the world. Now we have a government in the Municipal Corporation as well. In the last 15 years, the BJP has been in the Municipal Corporation, and the condition of Municipal Corporation schools is very bad. Since our government has come, we have inaugurated two schools... In the coming week, we are going to inaugurate a school in Ashok Vihar as well," said Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi.
She further said, "Every kind of facility has been given in these schools, including 14 classrooms, labs, etc. All the facilities that students get in private schools will be provided in Delhi's government schools."
Shelly Oberoi highlighted that the much awaited standing committee has not been formed so far and that is the reason that so many projects in the national capital have been put on hold.
"Standing committee has not been formed yet. So many of our projects are on hold. We have spotted so many problems in the schools, like a shortage of watchmen, sweepers, and data entry operators. We passed a resolution in the previous year but due to the standing committee not getting formed, we are not able to make any implementations," she added.
"We have also requested in the court that till the standing panel is not formed, the power must be handed over to the House. We want court to give a verdict on this. We want to give all the facilities to the residents of Delhi which we promised," Oberoi added. (ANI)
