Amanatullah Khan to admit his kids in govt school

NEW DELHI: With an aim to remove perception in people's minds against government institutions, AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan has said he will admit his children in a Delhi government school. Khan said he will seek admission of his two children at a government school in the Joga Bai area of his constituency Okhla on Thursday.

"I will get my son Anas Khan admitted in class 9 and daughter Tahora in class 6 at Joga Bai government school on Thursday," he said on Wednesday. His children were studying in the Hamdard Public School. "I believe my children will have good education at the government school, If we are not going to set a example how can we instill general public's faith in government schools," the AAP MLA said.

Khan said his move was also aimed at "inspiring people to shed their bias against the Delhi government schools". "A lot of changes have taken place in the government schools. Infrastructure has improved manifold while overall quality has also improved," he said. Education has been one of the priorities of the ruling AAP

in Delhi.

Deputy CM and incharge of Education Department Manish Sisodia has spearheaded several innovations in school education, including launch of 'Happiness Curriculum' for students from nursery to class 8 in government schools.
