Delhi CM, Arvind Kejriwal announced that they would begin the process of getting the board for Delhi in the upcoming academic year.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that Delhi would get its own education board in the upcoming academic year. 20-25 Delhi government schools will be de-affiliated from the CBSE to be affiliated to a new Delhi Board of School Education.
Currently, there are over 1,000 schools run by the Delhi government, all of which are affiliated to the CBSE. While presenting the 2020 annual budget for Delhi, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had announced that the government was setting aside Rs 62 crore to set up a separate state board of education.
On December 6, Delhi CM announced that they would kick off the process of getting the board of the ground in the upcoming academic year. The CBSE has recommended that schools begin the new academic session 2021-22 from April 1, 2021.
“We will not move all the schools to this board at once. In the first year, 20-25 government schools will be brought under this board. Their affiliation to the CBSE will be removed and they will be affiliated to this board. We will decide which schools these will be in consultations with their principals, teachers, and parents. And we believe that within four or five years, all private and government schools will voluntarily join this board,” he said.
He stated that the three primary goals of the board are to produce “kattar deshbhakt”, produce “good people” and to prepare students not to rely on the job market for employment. For the last few years, the Delhi government has been emphasizing the need for young people to take up entrepreneurship.
He also stated that the Delhi board will have continuous assessment throughout the year, as opposed to a final board exam.
