The Deputy Chief Minister reviewed semi-online education in schools and took feedback from teachers and parents. Sisodia while interacting with parents and teachers said that soon there will be a vaccine to cure Corona but there is no vaccine for the loss of education.
Sisodia said that Delhi's government schools have created history this time by getting a 98 per cent result. “Five years ago when results of Delhi Governmment’s schools were 88 per cent and a very short span of time, the government achieved the target of achieving 90 per cent and today, the results are 98 percent,” he said.
Giving credit for this success to parents and teachers, Sisodia said that the government has only provided the platform, all the hard work has been done by the teachers and parents.
Sisodia said, “Soon there will be a vaccine to cure Corona, but there is no vaccine for the loss of education. Therefore, we have to reduce our other expenses to ensure our children’s education. If there is a loss in education, it will not only be the loss of that child or family, but it will be a loss for the entire country”.
Talking about online education, Sisodia said, “Online education is not an alternative to school. Going to school helps in the all-round development of a child so we want the school to re-open as soon as possible.
“We did this experiment so that children do not lose their precious time.” He also spoke about the importance of activities in online education. He said Finland’s education system is considered to be the best in the world. Even in Finland, a lot is taught through various activities,” he said.
Stating the need for new experiments in the field of education, Sisodia said, “Even today we are following the education system which was introduced during the British era. Only the criticism has been done in the name of reforming that system. Now, the time has come to bring-in some substantial changes,” he said. During the interaction, teachers and parents shared their experiences in detail.
