New Delhi: The Delhi education model has made history with 98 per cent students of city government schools passing CBSE class 12 exams, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday.
At an online media briefing along with his deputy Manish Sisodia, the chief minister said that Delhi's students have done a tremendous job in the board exam.
Kejriwal said he thinks that 98 per cent passing results would not have come in any other state of the country.
"Delhi education model has made history with 98 per cent children in our govt schools passing in the Class 12 CBSE exams," he also tweeted.
"In private schools, 92.2 per cent of students have passed and in Government schools, 97.92 per cent of students have passed. In comparison to the rest of the country, Delhi's Government schools have very good results in these examinations," he said.
Out of 916 schools, 396 schools have 100 per cent students passing examinations, informed the Delhi Chief Minister.
"Ever since the Aam Adami Party has formed the government, the results have been improving constantly since 2016. In 2016, 88.9 per cent, in 2018 it was 90 per cent and in 2019, it was 94 per cent and this year it is 98 per cent," he informed further.
"With these results, our students studying in these government schools have shown that 'we are no less intelligent than anyone'. These results have shown that intelligence is not a slave to money. These results have also shown that the even the economically-weaker person wants to get his ward educated, in hope for a better life," Kejriwal said further.
