NEW DELHI
Today, the Delhi Education Model is a topic of discussion not only in India but all across the globe. This model is led by Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal, and its backbone is the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Delhi. All our successful experiments for the Delhi Education model start from SCERT. Today, when we wish to do anything new in the country, we start it with education and if we do anything new in education, we start it with SCERT. These were the words of Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia at the celebration of 35th Foundation of SCERT Delhi.
The Deputy Chief Minister added, “the education model in Delhi has gone through revolutionary changes in the past seven years. We made new schools, introduced new curricula like Happiness, Entrepreneurship Mindset and Deshbhakti, teachers went abroad to get trained, our results improved and all this was made possible because of strong research and training support that SCERT Delhi provided from time to time.”
Shri Manish Sisodia added, “the role of the SCERT or Research and Training wing in any country’s education department is very important. Improvement of quality of education depends on this. If today, the education system of Finland is on the top, it is because of their excellent research and training in the field of education.”
He said that SCERT Delhi has done exemplary work till date, but it still has a long way to go and needs to work on spreading a message of peace and social harmony.
Notably, SCERT Delhi celebrated its 35th foundation day with a galore of activities on Thursday, including an exhibition on the best practices and accomplishments of SCERT in the field of educational research and training in Delhi. Team SCERT also felicitated its former directors for their contribution in the field of education.
Appreciating the monumental efforts of SCERT in Delhi Education Revolution, Ms Atishi said, “SCERT is an important pillar of Delhi education revolution from the very beginning. People see our well maintained school across Delhi but they also need to see the story behind it. Seven years ago, no parent in the country wanted to send their children to a government school. But in the past 7 years not only Delhi government schools have changed but their educational standards have also improved with the efforts of SCERT Delhi. It is leading the way for the education systems of the country.”
Adding on, SCERT Director Shri Rajanish Kumar Singh said, “SCERT Delhi is determined to work for raising of education standards in schools of Delhi. It has done commendable work in the field of educational research and training so far and will continue to do so with new innovative practices. Recently SCERT Delhi has introduced a Teacher Training Monitoring System which will set new benchmarks in the field of teacher education and training.”
