Manish Sisodia reviews ‘Youth For Education’ initiative for classes 10 & 12
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia held a meeting to review the city government’s ‘Youth For Education’ initiative under which young mentors will guide Class 10-12 students over “life and career choices”, according to an official statement issued on Monday. Sisodia also took stock of the Parent Outreach Programme (POP), it said.
The aim of the two programmes for students of Delhi government-run schools is one-to-one mapping of children, a practice that is followed abroad, said Sisodia.
“One-to-one mapping of each child and understanding their individual profile was a practice that our teachers commended but they expressed concerns regarding the scale in Delhi. We know that catering to 16 lakh government school students is a challenge in Delhi but we have made this challenge into an opportunity,” he added. Through the Youth For Education (YFE) programme, children would be able to receive adequate guidance and counselling from the young generation that has been through similar process and has valuable input.
