“NAS Class 3 results paint a dismal picture of teaching and learning in Municipal schools which rank Delhi amongst the lowest 5 performing states in India. In fact, the Class 3 results of Municipal Corporation of Delhi is below national average in all three subjects: Language, Maths , and Environmental Studies.
