He said now the MCD has taken up education works on a priority basis just like the way things related to education have been taken up by the Delhi government.
The schools operating under the civic body will now have dedicated staff for maintaining cleanliness and also for ensuring security in the MCD schools.
Kejriwal further said that the aim was to prepare the coming generation, making them future ready and also provide them a better environment.
He said there will be no stone left unturned, leaving any shortfall when it comes to education.
Meanwhile, councilors of the BJP, protesting over the non-formation of a standing committee and ward committee, obstructed a house meeting of the MCD on Wednesday.
The Opposition councilors held placards and sloganeered against the AAP in the house.
There was a change in the power dynamics of civic body, as AAP came to power in the MCD in last year after defeating the BJP.
