The Delhi Government wishes to expand its Specialised Excellence schools in all zones of the Capital, however, there is an issue of space, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Saturday, during a visit to one of the schools.
“The Delhi Government made its schools world-class and parents of Delhi are now relieved that their children’s future is secure in Delhi Government schools.
The Delhi government in past few years has also introduced various assessment reforms in the schools and now students are assessed more on the basis of their understanding rather than rote learning ability,” he said.
Sisodia was interacting with students of DR B R Ambedkar School of Specialized Excellence at Surajmal vihar. Dr B R Ambedkar Schools of Specialised Excellence are choice-based schools for Class 9 to 12 that allow students to specialise in their chosen fields of study. Sisodia met parents and students at government schools in West Vinod Nagar, East Vinod Nagar, Surajmal Vihar, Mayur Vihar during Mega PTM.
