Tamil Nadu, Sept 5th, 2022: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is all set to launch the School of Excellence and Model Schools Schemes today in Tamil Nadu. The scheme which is broadly based on the schools in Delhi.
In an event to be held at the state-run Bharathi Women’s College, Kejriwal would launch the scheme in the presence of his Tamil Nadu counterpart M K Stalin.
As many as 26 Schools of Excellence and 15 Model Schools are covered under the scheme in the initial phase. ‘Thagaisal Palligal’ and ‘Mathiri Palligal’ are the official Tamil names for the SoE and Model Schools.
Tamil Nadu’s plans provide one more opportunity for Kejriwal to project his party-led government’s ‘successful’ educational and economic model being emulated elsewhere in the country. It would help the AAP to strengthen its narrative that it is no more a ‘regional’ party.
In April earlier this year, along with Kejriwal, Stalin visited government schools in Delhi and praised the infrastructure in such institutions.
He had then said his government would set up similar educational facilities in Tamil Nadu and invited Kejriwal for inauguration following completion of work.
