Delhi schools will be imparting international level education, says Kejriwal – Education News

Delhi has emerged as a model of governance, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday announced the international level education launch of the ‘Deshbhakti’ curriculum in government schools from September 27 and yoga classes in residential areas from October 2.

The Delhi government schools will start teaching the ‘Deshbhakti’ curriculum from September 27 as a tribute to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, he said.

“This will be an activity-based course in which the school children will be taught how to contribute to the development of the country and discharge their ‘surya’ and be ready to sacrifice even their lives for the nation,” Kejriwal said, adding that “We were teaching subjects to students but they were never taught Deshbhakti.

Now they will learn the essence of patriotism. I urge parents to talk to their children after they return to their homes to talk about Deshbhakti”.

While announcing that Delhi will have its own education board, he said children in government schools will have access to international level of education since the Delhi Board of School Education inked a pact with International Baccalaureate last week.

Delhi will have a Sainik School, something which it did not have earlier, and preparations are also being made for starting a Delhi Armed Forces Training Academy to prepare students for the armed forces, Kejriwal said.
