Delhi govt run schols hold 'mega PTM'

Delhi government-run schools held a "mega PTM" on Saturday to brief parents about their children's progress and also to take their feedback.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal interacted with the parents and guardians during the PTM at Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Rouse Avenue.

"The PTM procedures in Delhi government schools were only on paper. We have started holding regular PTMs in schools. Parents and teachers are satisfied because they get to discuss the progress and growth of students. This way, parents take a keen interest in the studies of their wards. I am happy to interact with parents, and this PTM is also an eye-opener for students," Kejriwal said.

On opposition leaders' allegations on the 'Mega PTM' being a political gimmick, Kejriwal said, "How can imparting good education to our children be a political gimmick? We have been holding regular PTMs since the last two-three years. They tried to end these PTMs but I don't think politics on schooling and education is justified."
