Senior AAP Leader and Delhi Vidhan Sabha’s Education Committee Chairperson MLA Ms Atishi met with renowned educationists and dignitaries from Kerala on Saturday. Shri Victor T.I, the Regional Secretary of CBSE School Management Association, Kerala and Dr M. Dinesh Babu, the Treasurer of Confederation of Kerala Sahodaya Complexes on Saturday met with the MLA to discuss the revolution in Delhi’s education system brought on by the Kejriwal Government. Advisor to Delhi’s Education Director Shri Shailendra Sharma was also present at the occasion. Impressed by the work of Delhi government, Shri Victor T.I had earlier written to Ms Atishi about the possibility of learning more about the transformation in Delhi Government’s schools.
Ms Atishi explained in detail about the various steps and initiatives such as empowering Head of Schools, establishing a framework for Mentor Teachers and enhancing community participation in the upkeep of schools, that have been crucial in turning around the state of government schools in Delhi. Taking note of the complete range of policy reforms and key decisions that Delhi Government has undertaken in the last 7 years, the dignitaries visited classrooms to gather a more comprehensive understanding.
The dignitaries visited one ‘Connected Classroom’, a STEM lab and a library of the school. They said, “The facilities provided to the students of Delhi were truly world class. We didn’t expect the facilities to be this good in the schools.” The officials were also interested in seeing first hand the widely-hailed Happiness and Mindfulness classes being run in Delhi Government Schools and were left thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere and participation. “The calmness of the students and the happiness that I could feel on their faces while looking at them was really heartening,” one official said.
The Mindfulness Classes, where students express themselves through different stories, and routinely practice mindfulness, left the officials highly impressed. “The way students were involved in the mindfulness classes was just amazing. We will also try to implement it in the same way in our school,” the officials said.
On the whole, the dignitaries called their experience of seeing Delhi Government Schools phenomenal. “The entire school is enjoying the process like a family, whether it be the faculty or the students, everyone is enjoying, which is wonderful to see,” the officials said.
