Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari on Tuesday said that Education Minister Manish Sisodia’s plea to exempt Delhi government school students from Class X board exams was “an admission of poor standards” of the AAP dispensation’s school system and infrastructure.
Mr. Tiwari said that till now the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had demanded that the Central Board of Secondary Education reintroduce board exams for Class X students, but had now decided to go back on its own demand.
“This is because Mr. Sisodia knows that once the Class X board are reintroduced, the hollowness of Arvind Kejriwal’s claims related to education will fall flat,” Mr. Tiwari said.
‘Schools ill-equipped’
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said that his government was committed to giving the best educational atmosphere to Delhi government schools, but that there was a need put off the introduction of board exams for two years.
Mr. Tiwari said that this reason was because Mr. Sisodia knew that Delhi government schoolswere “not equipped” to prepare students for a competitive environment.
