I am waiting for the list of the best 250 schools in Punjab which have improved in the last 5 years."
In another tweet, Sisodia wrote, "I will personally submit a list of 250 schools in Delhi. Then we will go to these schools together.We will call the media so that all the people can form their opinion by looking at the education model of both the states."
Singh wrote, "My dream is to ensure that every school in Punjab has world class facilities and committed teachers to equip our children with 21st century skills."
