Delhi government school curriculum to go online

NEW DELHI: Delhi government’s education department will now be uploading its curriculum on ministry of human resource development’s online platform, Diksha. This means books on happiness, entrepreneurship, etc, can now be accessed by anyone in any part of the country.
Announcing the initiative called Lead, which promotes learning through e-resources, deputy chief minister and education minister Manish Sisodia tweeted, “Har Ghar mein diksha, har din shiksha. Announcing LEAD - an initiative by State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Delhi, to maintain continuity in learning and teaching”.
Explaining the initiative, a senior official of Directorate of Education said, “The ministry had asked states to upload their e-learning material on Diksha to create an online repository. Each state has its own. In Delhi, we decided to call it Lead. The idea behind it is that each state can learn from each other.”
Under the initiative, study material prepared by SCERT will be uploaded to the online portal. This will include Pragati textbooks prepared as part of Mission Buniyaad, support material for entrepreneurship curriculum, among others.
Teachers said it was a great platform for both students and teachers.
