NEW DELHI : Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that the government will set up the Delhi Board of School education. The chief minister said that the Delhi Cabinet has given approval for setting up the new board of education.
Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, during a press conference, said: “The new board will create a system that is different from our current education system which is focussed on rote learning. Children will not be tested on one final 3-hour test but rather will be subject to continuous evaluation throughout the year.”
Currently, all government schools in Delhi are under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
The minister said that 20 to 25 schools will come under the Delhi Board of School Education from the academic year 2021-22 onwards. Kejriwal said that the government hopes to bring all government and private schools in Delhi under the board in four to five years.
Kejriwal said that inputs from international institutions will be taken and that international practices were studied while setting up the board. The minister said that the new education system will focus on personality development and not just on rote learning.
“This is a revolutionary change in Delhi’s education sphere. We want to create students who are proud of their nation who are ready to die for the nation who will be exemplary in all fields,” Kejriwal said.
