Ten new schools of specialized excellence (SoSEs) will soon be made operational in Delhi for the 2022-23 academic session, the directorate of education (DoE) announced. Along with this, Armed Forces Preparatory School (AFPS) will also be made operational in the Jharoda Kalan area of Delhi.
“Ten more schools across four specialized excellence (four STEM, two humanities, two performing and visual arts and two high-end 21st-century skills) are being added, while the AFPS will be operational in Jharoda Kalan. Thus, the total number of SoSEs in the academic year 2022-23 will be 31,” a senior DoE official said, adding that “All SoSEs shall be affiliated to the Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) operating in partnership with the International Baccalaureate (IB). Admissions will be offered in Class 9 in all the schools and in Class 11 in the STEM SoSEs and the AFPS through an aptitude test or on the basis of a child’s demonstrated interest in earlier classes.” After the launch of the ten new schools of specialised excellence, the total number of SoSEs operational in the academic session will be 31.
The SoSEs were launched over a year ago by the Delhi government as choice-based schools. These specialized schools aim to have world-class infrastructure, facilities, optimum use of technology and a new-age curriculum. Through this, the government aims to focus on experiential learning through projects, field visits and internships in the areas of interest of students.
The online application process is scheduled to start from Thursday and the aptitude test will be conducted between March 15-30.
