The principals and teachers of Delhi government schools are the pilots of the Delhi education revolution. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that his hard work and efforts have made government schools the most preferred choice among children and parents in Delhi. He said that the principals should go to Cambridge with an open mind and imbibe the best practices there.
He said that a new research component has been added this year to expand the horizons of leadership training. The University of Cambridge is known for developing the most unique assessment practices, and our school principals will be familiar with and learn from it during their journey. “This will help us in developing student-centred assessment practices that will reduce the stress from the lives of the students,” Sisodia said.
