After Delhi govern-ment schools, now our focus is on MCD schools, and rev-olutionising the education system in them is our priority", she stated."In order to make MCD schools world-class education institutions, it is important for us to let MCD teachers ex-plore the education trends across the world.

Teachers will be able to bring the best pedagogical practices to the classrooms and contribute to the holistic development of students in their formative years", Atishi said.During the visit to UCL, Minister Atishi was accom-panied by the Delhi education secretary, the director of education of MCD, and a senior faculty member from the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Delhi.
