The Directorate of Education will organise a mega parent-teacher meeting at MCD and Delhi government schools on 30 April, Minister Atishi said on Monday, noting that guardians are an important cog in providing a conducive learning environment.
This will be the first time that Delhi government schools, under the ambit of the Directorate of Education, and those run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will hold mega parent-teacher meetings (PTMs) together.
Addressing a press conference here, Education Minister Atishi urged all the parents to take part in the mega PTM and provide suggestions for their children’s education and the improvement of schools.
“Education has always been the priority of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government. In the past few years, the government raised the budget for education, improved school infrastructure and focused exclusively on providing a conducive learning environment to children in government schools,” Atishi said.
“…we also worked to connect the parents, who are important stakeholders in the education system, with the schools. Due to this, very positive changes were seen not only in the education system but also in the children’s learning levels.
“Now we are going to start this process of change in MCD schools as well through the mega PTMs,” she added.
