The Delhi Government to Introduce French, German, and Japanese in 58 Government Schools
The Delhi government has announced a pilot project to introduce French, German, and Japanese languages in 58 government schools. The initiative aims to enhance the linguistic skills of students and prepare them to face the challenges of the globalized professional world. The Directorate of Education of the Delhi government has issued the directive to include these languages in the curriculum.
Guidelines have been issued to all school principals to ensure a smooth implementation of this initiative. The languages will be introduced in a phased manner starting from the academic session 2023-24 for students of Class 6 and 7. Learning a foreign language not only expands one’s world view but also inculcates the value of appreciation of cultural diversity. It opens up opportunities for students who are multilingual and want to make connections within the world. Additionally, learning foreign languages also improves cognitive functioning, memory, creativity, problem-solving skills, and multitasking abilities.
Online Attendance to Have a Bearing on Final Examinations in Delhi Government Schools
In another development, the Delhi government has announced that class teachers of government schools will mark the attendance of students online using tabs or the school computer system. The attendance record will have a bearing on final examinations, as per an official circular. Manual attendance marked by the class teacher will not be considered for any purpose.
The Directorate of Education (DoE) of the Delhi government emphasized the importance of students being present in school and actively engaging in the learning process. The heads of government schools have been directed to establish a positive home-school relationship by making personal calls to the student’s family and utilizing digital communication channels like SMS, WhatsApp, and email. Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) will be held every Saturday, where schools will provide parents with a comparative analysis of their child’s attendance, especially for students who are absent more than three days a week.
These initiatives reflect the Delhi government’s commitment to providing quality education and ensuring the holistic development of students. By introducing foreign languages and promoting digital attendance, the government aims to equip students with the necessary skills to thrive in a globalized world.
