L-G’s refusal to foreign training for our teachers is an attack on Delhi’s education model. The L-G is focusing on stopping the unique initiatives. It is very shameful. —Manish Sisodia, Delhi Deputy CM

Deputy CM Sisodia said, “L-G’s refusal to foreign exposure training of our teachers is an attack on Delhi’s education model. Instead of helping to make that education model more glorious, the L-G is focusing on stopping the unique initiatives. It is very shameful.”

Notably, Delhi government has already sent 1,079 teachers to different countries through its various foreign exposure training programmes. Of these, 59 teachers had gone to Finland, 420 to Cambridge and 600 to Singapore for training. Apart from this, till date 860 school principals have taken training in institutes like the IIM, Ahmedabad and Lucknow.
