NEW DELHI
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Schools of Specialised Excellence (ASoSE) hosted their first Mega Parents Teacher Meeting (PTM) on Thursday. The beaming joy in the eyes of the parents was the proof of their confidence and faith in these unique schools. To know the experiences of parents and students, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia visited four ASoSEs in Rohini. While interacting with the parents, Shri Sisodia said, “Kejriwal Government’s SoSEs have been renamed after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar who always wanted all children to attain quality and equal education irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds and we are determined to do so. These schools are a tribute to Babasaheb Ambedkar. I am happy to see that our schools are treating every child equally and helping them learn better.”
The Deputy Chief Minister added that ASoSEs seek to serve as examples of how a stimulating environment and the provision of specialized training and facilities, paired with deep interest and commitment, can take children to great heights in various fields, irrespective of their background. It is shifting the focus from rote learning to experiential learning and this is the biggest achievement of the Kejriwal Government. He said that one day ASoSEs will lead the schools of the country and will help them change the way of learning. It has already begun this by releasing an innovative report card on the first mega PTM day.
ASoSEs handed out unique and innovative report cards to parents that highlighted the details of a student’s learning level along with the marks. Parents were provided with the information about what all their children have learnt in the past one year and information about their improved abilities.
What was special in the Mega PTM of Dr. BR Ambedkar SoSE
-> Opportunity for one-to-one interaction with teachers for parents to know their child’s progress
-> Special exhibition by students of ASoSE on various subjects
-> New and unique report card prepared in the first year of DBSE Board, which instead of showing marks, tells what children have learned in a year.
What did the parents say?
Curious parents and students discussed several things while interacting with the Deputy Chief Minister. Most of the discussion was around the inspiration for setting up these unique schools and how these schools have changed the mindset of parents and students in the past one year. A parent said, “Confidence of my child has increased a lot here as compared to the previous private school and now I am sure that my daughter will be able to do better in future. In her previous school, focus was more on bookish knowledge and teachers would promote only a few favorite students but here facilitators focus on overall development of every child.”
Another parent said, “My daughter has changed a lot in the past one year since she joined ASoSE. And now she has started talking and explaining to us about sensitive issues of society such as transgender issues/rights, religion-caste etc. I feel proud to hear her thoughts.”
A parent, Mr Deepak at ASoSE-STEM in Rohini said, “I work as a hawker in the weekly market, I could not afford the education of my elder son due to the financial crisis. He is also working as a hawaker now. But, thanks to ASoSE this will not happen with my younger son. I am sure that he will learn and achieve better.”
