| Promising a revamp of Delhi's education system, the state government today said it will form its own education board on the lines of CBSE and NCERT, come out with new syllabus and also amend existing education laws.
In a first-of-its kind interaction under one roof, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisosia today met principals of all the government schools at Tyagraj Stadium in New Delhi.
The announcement came during the interactive session.

"Education system in Delhi is working on an Act made in 1973, which has become old. World has moved on but we are still following old law. We have to rewrite it according to modern vision and modern education system," Mr Sisodia said seeking suggestions from the principal to amend it.
"We don't even have our own education board and we need it now along with our own new syllabus. I am not saying that CBSE or NCERT is wrong but we will make our own board as per the demand of Delhi," he said without giving any timeline to the proposal.
While speaking at the interaction session, Mr Kejriwal said that education is on the priority of his government. He claimed that the government's seriousness can be gauged with the first-of-its kind interaction.
"If we can impart better education then within one generation we can eradicate poverty, unemployment and can develop this city. We need to bring two major changes in education system, which is improvement of infrastructure and quality of education," Mr Kejriwal said.
Highlighting the problems of government schools, he said we need better infrastructure. If there are 100 students in one class, then how will a teacher teach them.
