Welcoming parents of government schools students as “stakeholders” in their child’s education, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia’s initiative of Parents-Teachers-Meeting (PTM) in in full swing and getting a massive response from parents in Delhi.
The deputy chief minister who is also the Education minister had announced this initiative on Thursday and asked the parents of 16 lakh students studying in government schools to celebrate the mega PTM as a festival and said that similar to private schools, PTM will now be held at government schools.
Sisodia said PTMs will be held twice a year to make parents feel proud that they are also part of the several initiatives being taken by the government.
Delhi Education department has constituted welcoming teams in schools for the parents so that they feel proud and for this, government has set aside funds. The timing of PTM will be different in morning and evening shift schools.
“It is important to communicate the initiatives of Delhi government in education, so that parents utilize these schemes properly,” he said while addressing a press conference.
“We want to make PTMs a regular affair to keep parents in loop. At this meet, parents can seek details of performance of their children and get updated with all activities and initiatives taken by the government,” he further said.
The Dy CM and Education minister said Delhi government was working to improve quality of education in its schools everyday through policies, new infrastructure including CCTVs, classrooms and furniture.
He also updated on the fact that government has directed all senior officials of the education department including directors, deputy directors, and assistant director to hold a meeting with parents of government schools’ students from 12 to 1 PM on Friday every week to address their issues and concerns.
