Government schools in Delhi matching up to private ones seemed to be a distant dream 10 years ago but it is now a reality because of the AAP dispensation that prioritises education, Chief Minister Atishi said on Tuesday.

Inaugurating a four-storey academic block at Government Girls Senior Secondary School in Mukundpur Village, she said it was "even more impressive than private schools".

"Earlier there were 80 students in one classroom and it affected the quality of learning. But with the new building, the education standards will improve significantly," she said.

According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office, the new building features 36 classrooms, three state-of-the-art laboratories and a principal's office.
