Scholarships for Class 10 Toppers of BMC Schools

NEW DELHI, AUGUST 22: As per reports, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has made a policy to give scholarships to class 10 toppers from among its schools. Around 25 toppers of class 10 will be sponsored for their education fee until their graduation. The policy to provide scholarships to class 10 toppers is in the final stage and waiting for the permission of the Municipal Commissioner.
This step will improve the quality of education in BMC schools and will also motivate students towards studies so that they can get financial assistance for further studies.

Ashutosh Salil, Joint Municipal Commissioner (Education), said, “We want to work on improving the quality of education in our schools which will be an ongoing process. Also, efforts are being made to analyse the learning outcome of the students in our school and focus on bettering it. We have proposed scholarships for 25 students as of now, however, the policy is yet to be finalised.”

The BMC has also planned to focus on students learning capability. For this, they will conduct tests to evaluate how much syllabus students have understood.

“We do not want students of Class 10 to be clueless about the concepts they have studied so far,” said a civic official.
