Later, he said that work was underway to set up similar schools in tamil Nadu. Although many people have commented in support of the tamil Nadu Chief Minister's announcement, some academics have also leveled serious criticism. So, what is delhi Model School? Here we will see what are its pros and cons.
What are Model Schools?
There are more than 1000 government schools in the national capital Delhi. Of these, the delhi government decided in 2015 to model 54 schools. It has all the amenities like projectors, smart boards, smart classrooms with laptops, swimming pool, indoor playground, clean modern toilet facilities.
So far 30 model schools have been established there due to lack of land. To meet the demand, these schools have developed more than 8000 smart classrooms. Apart from this, the delhi government is accelerating the restructuring of more than a hundred government schools.
Beyond infrastructure facilities focused more on skill development training for teachers. teachers were provided with various opportunities to develop their skills. They were taken to institutions of higher learning and development centers in countries such as Singapore, the united states and the United Kingdom. With the help of fellow teachers, suitable environments were created to correct their problems / challenges and renew their self-confidence.
Next, the delhi government gave more importance to the school management committee. It became the focal point of Delhi's education reform . Under the Right to Compulsory education Act 2009, the school Management Committee operates in the respective schools to manage the activities of the school. According to statistics, the delhi government has allocated between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 6 lakh for each group. It began to function as a platform for discussing the diverse needs found among students. Large-scale Parent-Teacher Association meeting was held. Not to be outdone, it set the fees for private schools. It also ensured that no fees were charged in excess of the fees set by the government.
Tamil Nadu school education Department: It is estimated that the number of students studying in government schools in tamil Nadu is 7 times higher than in Delhi. Comparing tamil Nadu with delhi, regardless of individual differences, regional differences, social differences, political power and historical factors, is a false precedent.
The total number of government schools in tamil Nadu is 37,431. According to the latest figures, more than 20,000 schools do not even have basic facilities including toilets and drinking water. At the same time, tamil Nadu government spending on schooling is declining. The share of government school expenditure in the state's GDP has declined from 2.0% (2014-15) to 1.8% (2017-18). In delhi the figure is 25%.
Therefore, it is understandable that money laundering is a major problem in tamil Nadu. It is also possible to realize here that there are opportunities to increase confidence in public schools by increasing spending.
Beyond that, the government must focus on common problems such as the shortage of trained teachers, the inability of parents, the lack of empowered rural local bodies and the lack of transparent data on state institutions.
