Manish Sisodia visits Delhi govt School of Specialized Excellence

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government's School of Specialized Excellence for Humanities is preparing students to be the "finest" IAS-IPS officers, journalists, historians, lawyers and judges, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said Tuesday. Meeting the first batch of students of Performing and Visual Arts and Humanities, Sisodia lauded the government schools for opening many avenues in the field of learning visual and performing arts.

"So far, there were schools in the system which taught children to be doctors and engineers. People never imagined that there would be government schools that would focus on developing the talents of children and nurture them as artists," Sisodia said. He also interacted with teachers to understand the assessment pattern of children in SoSE.
