New Delhi, Sep 10 (TIWN) The Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) has entered into an agreement with the International Baccalaureate (IB) that would change the face of education in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Friday.

 "Till now, we had seen two kinds of educational systems around us, as per which a child from a poor family would study in a government school and a child from a well-off family will go to a private school. Now, Delhi government's new agreement with IB will narrow this gap and children from the poorer section of the society will also get quality education, which is important for eliminating poverty in the society." The IB is a private international education board with its headquarters in Geneva. It has around 5,500 schools in 169 countries. There are currently 193 IB schools in India, all of which are top-end elite private schools.
