Today, Thursday, August 8, the Delhi Education Minister Atishi said that the Arvind Kejriwal government is the only one in the country that spends 25% of its total budget on education. This was stated in a report by PTI. 

Further, Atishi, while addressing a press conference, said that government schools faced severe shortcomings, including shortages of classrooms, boards, power supply and washrooms, before the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) took over. 

"Since 2015, the Delhi government has built 22,711 new classrooms," she said.

Atishi highlighted that the modern facilities in government schools include smart boards, libraries and sports facilities that provide students with a conducive learning environment.

In addition to this, 14 new schools are being built in the city to ensure that the students have the best infrastructure for high-quality education.

These efforts are part of the city government's commitment to providing top-notch education to every student, fulfilling Kejriwal's vision, Atishi added.
