Mayor Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh said facilities in MCD schools are no less than those in private schools, and the teachers are even more qualified.

"Teachers working in MCD schools are recruited through competitive examinations, resulting in excellent teachers," he said.

He added that 60% of students in leading medical and engineering colleges come from government schools and urged teachers to diligently impart their knowledge to students. "Municipal school teachers are performing well but there is always room for improvement," Singh noted.
