As compared to private schools Delhi's SDMC schools recorded more enrolments because of the quality of education they are delivering.
South Delhi Mayor Mukesh Suryan has revealed that the corporation will open at least one English-medium school in each ward. The civic-body run schools in the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) had seen an increase in enrolment this year, recording 93,000 entries of students.
Education Is Key
According to the SouthDelhi Mayor, the corporation will open at least one English-medium school in each ward and will also be opening 12 new schools in the coming months.
The reason for this hike in enrolment in SDMC schools is believed to be the quality of education that these schools ensure, despite the Delhi Government's low allocation of funds, he was quoted as saying in an IndiaToday report.
Nikita Sharma, SDMC's education committee chairperson, said that the SDMC delivers quality education to nearly 3 lakh students in its schools.
Smart Classroom In 468 Schools
"Science clubs have been started in 200 schools this year while smart classrooms have been constructed in 468 schools," she said.
She also said that the SDMC is also distributing tablets in collaboration with NGOs.
Not only to students, but the civic body will distribute 750 tablets to teachers in addition to 5,000 tablets to students by the end of December. To encourage students in sports, a sports cell has been set up. Apart from these, she said that CCTV cameras in 388 schools have also been installed.
