#Kejriwal declares #Delhi needs own school education board

Delhi may well gets its own education board, if the Arvind Kejriwal government has its way with a major revamp of the Capital’s education system.

“We need a separate education board for Delhi with a syllabus independent of the prescribed syllabus in CBSE. I am not saying CBSE or NCERT are not doing their job but we need a board that will cater to the needs and requirements of Delhi’s students. We are working towards it and will soon work out a syllabus based on the suggestions of education experts,” deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia told a gathering of over 1,500 principals and teachers of government schools on Saturday.
