Promising a revamp of Delhi's educationsystem, the state government on Saturday said it will form its own education board on the lines of CBSE and NCERT, come out with new syllabus and also amend existing education laws.

In a first-of-its kind interaction under one roof, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisosia today met principals of all the government schools at Tyagraj Stadium. The announcement came during the interactive session.

"Education system in Delhi is working on an Act made in 1973, which has become old. World has moved on but we are still following old law. We have to rewrite it according to modern vision and modern education system," Sisodia said seeking suggestions from the principal to amend it.

We don't even have our own education board and we need it now along with our own new syllabus. I am not saying that CBSE or NCERT is wrong but we will make our own board as per the demand of Delhi," he said without giving any timeline to the proposal.

While speaking at the interaction session, Kejriwal said that education is on the priority of his government. He claimed that the government's seriousness can be gauged with the first-of-its kind interaction.

"If we can impart better education then within one generation we can eradicate poverty, unemployment and can develop this city. We need to bring two major changes in education system, which is improvement of infrastructure and quality of education," Kejriwal said.

Highlighting the problems of government schools, he said we need better infrastructure. If there are 100 students in one class, then how will a teacher teach them. In a move to improve infrastructure, government has done mapping of all the government schools and made a list of their infrastructural need.

"Education department has done mapping of all the schools about the requirement of schools and availability of land. We have sent this proposal to PWD department asking them to make enough classrooms so that there are not over 40 students in a class. They will have to deliver these classrooms in next one and half years," Kejriwal said.

Asking to turn government schools into model school, Kejriwal said,"There is only one parameter of model school, a government school in which we can send our kids. Even 90 per cent of government schools principal send their children to private schools."

Government has also made a list of things which will be there in each model schools. Department has also identified deficiency of benches, desk, laboratories, toilets, computer room and auditorium but implementation will take some time.

Kejriwal said that his target is to make Delhi government schools better than private schools in five years. To fulfil their pre-poll promise, Kejriwal announced to open 45 new model schools in a year.

"We will open 45 new schools in a year and it will be at par with private schools and we will also ensure that existing schools will be updated according to the parameters of model school," Kejriwal said.

The Chief Minister also threw an open challenge to the gathering of school principals and asked them to improve the education quality of their schools within a year and submit a blueprint to achieve it.

"Improvement of education will be judged on two parameter-- academic performance and parents' satisfaction. Academic performance of each class will be checked on the basis of passing percentage and average marks. Parents feedback will be taken at the beginning and end of academic session," Kejriwal said.

Government will support the infrastructural and monetary requirement of schools after the presentation of blueprint by the principal. "We will give every support, which schools need but will not be able to open classrooms within few months. But, in return we need performance," Kejriwal said.

Pitching for encouraging principals and teachers Kejriwal said, after a year government will assess performance of schools. Top 10 performing principals and teachers will be sent to foreign countries for exchange programme and training.

"Those principals who can achieve the target will get a hefty amount of double increment as performance allowance each month for a year. Best performing teachers will also get state recognition," Kejriwal announced.
Asking principals to come up with solution to improve the schools, Kejriwal quoted an idiom 'Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches'.

"You can write to director education for blueprint and for any suggestions can direly send email to me," he said.

:D

That's some Grade A retarded sh*t. I am in awe of the mind that comes up with such an argument, unless the dude is merely trolling.

Tag some secular Bengalis and watch them defend this. :D
When did you see Bengalis defending communal riots here? And what exactly to defend when we are running short on details? The monkey has not shown its tail yet and you all have started clamoring, Sarthak. It is unfortunate, as usual.

Dada, you missed my point. The issue is not that they are defending it. But they are conspicuous by their absence. :(

The media does not report it here and apart from facebook we have no information available about this incident. My colleague who lives in that place told me about it but nothing like what or who started it. So, why bother about it unnecessarily when situation has been taken under control? Or people here are expecting Bengalis to start crusade on Muslims based upon reports from 'Hindu Samhati' now?
 
. . .
If media starts it reporting like 'Muslims/Hindus burn down Hindu/Muslim house', I see that as a problem.
Media needs to report bluntly. Without measuring how many people see it as a problem.
If Hindus attack, it needs to write Hindus attack; 9 Muslims killed. If Muslims attack, similar headlines should be highlighted. The former is done. The latter is not. :D There have been instances of riots in the past 5 years that I picked up from foreign news outlets and NOT from Indian media. I see that as a bigger problem. :P

If we are speaking about Bengali media till now, they maintain a consistent decorum about reporting communal riots, strictly adhering to details that are only necessary to print given the sensitivity about religious sentiments. Nothing wrong in it if you see carefully the very reason behind it. If they have not reported about atrocities by 'Muslims', they have been careful about not mentioning those by HIndus too. And I appreciate the reasoning behind it.

No, I am talking about the National media. Bengal media is something I am personally not much aware of. The Canning riots, the Deganga riots - within the last 5 years were something I picked up from non Indian sources first. And most Bengalis I asked had never heard of them. Bengalis died. But they are all aware of the nun gang-rape incident.

Don't take this as my beating Bengalis here. I am talking about the media narrative and social awareness.

Now, kindly don't thump the deficiencies of national media (if you call it so) on Bengalis of this forum then. As far as Nun rape is concerned, media and the public (unfortunately not the church) were sure about one thing from the beginning and that was it had nothing to do with any Hindu fanatic group. 'Seculars' did a fine job, didn't they? And the minor blast in Belur math got equal attention all over and Bengalis were not less concerned about the sanctity of the RKM here. So, please before taking potshots on Bengalis, take these facts into considerations too. The unnecessary sarcasms now bore me.
