Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said students are shifting from private to government schools for the first time in history after his party came to power and transformed the system, reported news agencies.

"There is a reverse swing now. It is for the first time in the history that students are shifting from private schools to government schools,'' he was quoted as saying.&nbsp;

"Recently, a government school was opened in Rohini and 900 students took admission in it. Of these, 750 were from private schools," he said while addressing a gathering in Rithala here.
