Delhi chief minister Atishi on Friday said children in the national capital are now being given equal opportunities and those studying in government schools can now aim higher.
The chief minister said this following an interaction with 30 students from the city's government schools who went to Paris to study an advanced French course.
Atishi along with AAP leader Manish Sisodia met the students who had attended the French language course at Alliance Francaise in Paris from November five to 15.
"Have you ever thought that a child from a poor family would have the opportunity to study abroad? This is not just a dream but a realization of hopes that were previously suppressed due to financial constraints," Atishi wrote in a social media post about the initiative.
She further emphasised that every child in Delhi is now being given equal opportunities. "We have shown that even children from government schools can aim high. Every child in Delhi is now being given equal opportunities. This is Delhi's education revolution, and it will continue."
The program focused on students from classes nine to 12, many of whom are first-generation school-goers, according to an official statement.
Organised by the French Embassy in India, the program stems from a partnership between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and Alliance Francaise to enhance French language education in Delhi's schools, it said.
