New Delhi: The Delhi cabinet approved constitution of a Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) on Saturday. This was announced by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who said that for the 2021-22 session, around 20-25 schools will be affiliated to the new board. Delhi will have its own school board for the first time since 1952 when its board was merged with CBSE.
Kejriwal had announced in 2015 that Delhi would be setting up its own school education board. Explaining the rationale behind it, he said on Saturday that it will conduct assessments throughout the year to develop holistic learning outcomes instead of once in a year which essentially focuses on rote learning. The emphasis has to be on “understanding” and “personality development” instead of rote learning, he said.
“The interest, need and specialisation of each student would be taken into account to get insights on what courses they should take up for their careers. This is in sharp contrast to the model of rote learning,” he said.
“The Delhi education board will bring about radical changes, making India a progressive and developed nation,” said the CM.
