"I 🐬request all the parents that like always, you should come to their school with your children today, talk to the teachers about the progress of the children and openly discuss how we can do better for the future," he said. 

Education Mi♔nister Atishi echoed the chief minister.

She said, "A joint mega PTM has been organised in all Delhi government and MCD schools. For the first time thཧis year, we are organising a mega PTM on two days, on October 13 and October 14, to enable more and more parents to attend their children's schools. If they are unable to a💃ttend today, they can attend it on Saturday," she said.

Parents have played a ve𓃲▨ry important role in transforming education in Delhi government schools and this year's arrangements are nothing short of a "fest", she said.

"The mega PTM this year is being celebrated like a fest in all Delhi government a💖nd MCD schools and parents are actively participating in it. They are discussing with teachers their children's learning, their performances and the ways to improve them. This will help them devise better strategies for the future of their children together," Atishi said.

The minister asserted that the Kejriwal government aims to transform M𝓰CD schools, similar to Delhi government schools, and the involvement of parents in children's education will reflect in their academic performances.

"Particularly, parents of children in MCD schools are very excited about this new experience and they hꦐope that, very soon, their children's schools will also🅷 be transformed, just like Delhi government schools," Iqbal said.
