Panaji: Claiming that education reforms carried out by the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government has received acclaim internationally, the Aam Aadmi party (AAP) in Goa wants the same to be replicated here.

AAP delegation led by State secretary Pradeep Padgaonkar submitted memorandum to Education department requesting them to visit Delhi to study its educational reforms and to ensure that they are adopted in the State education system to provide quality education.  

“As you may have heard, the education reforms carried out by the Arvind Kejriwal-led government of Delhi have received acclaim not only across the country but internationally as well. Goa could learn and improve from many of the initiatives and innovations, such as a focus on learning instead of just teaching, training & empowerment of principals & teachers, revision of syllabus, and constant oversight and inspection by the Education Minister himself,” the memorandum reads.

Padgaonkar said that the impact of the reforms has been so considerable, that it has triggered a slow and steady reverse migration from private schools to Government-run schools, a phenomenon unheard of anywhere in the country.

“Regardless of the party in power, or other such political compulsions, it is the responsibility of the Directorate of Education to work on long-term delivery of quality education to every child in the state. Some other states like Karnataka have already initiated the process of learning and implementing some of Delhi’s reforms in their own states,” the memorandum stated.
