AgenciesThe Delhi government on Saturday approved the formation of a separate school board for nearly 2,700 schools in the city. In the beginning, 21-22 state government schools will be affiliated to the Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) and in the next four-five years all the schools will be brought under it, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said in a press conference.
There are around 1,000 Delhi government schools and about 1,700 private schools, most of them affiliated to the CBSE, in the city.
The new Board will have a governing body headed by the Education minister of the Delhi government and an executive body headed by a chief executive officer, Kejriwal said.
The DBSE will be aimed at imparting such education that prepares "fiercely patriotic" and self-dependent students who serve the society and the country in a selfless manner, he said.
The Board will bring in best international practices and high-end techniques in school education. It will impart education as per the aptitude of the students, he added.

 | Sid dude32 minutes ago Next pass a resolution to make Delhi an independent nation lol. Look at the plight of traffic on Delhi roads. Instead of solving severe traffic problems, making it safer for women at night by installing billions of cameras (which he promised in manifesto)....look at this cartoon. He is even more corrupt then Congress governments in the past |
| vc2 hours ago Almost all the States have their own State Education Boards. Some of the State Education Boards are pathetic. The ruling party at the Centre could have directed the States where they run the Governments to switch over affiliation to CBSE and close the State Boards AND SIMULTANEOUSLY improve standards in the best interests of the students san politics. Alas, it is not the case. Coming to the proposed move of the Delhi Government, the State Government has done a wonderful job in the education sector and, there is no doubt, that the proposed best practices will show light to the Central Board to follow in years to come. |
