The Delhi government on Friday decided to prepare a graph of grade-wise learning system by adopting and adapting the NCERT's draft in the context of the national Capital.
"From academic year 2017-18 onwards, instead of merely completing the syllabus, the focus should be on attaining the grade wise learning system," reiterated Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. He was chairing a meeting to discuss the draft grade wise learning system prepared by National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT) for Classes 1-8.
The meeting was attended by Secretary Education, Director Education, Director, State Council of Educational Research & Training (SCERT) and other senior officials of the Directorate of Education.
Deputy CM, who also has education in his portfolio, pointed out that the outcome indicators should be self explanatory for the teachers so that they can track the progress of their students on a regular basis and are able to not only take corrective actions but also communicate about the same to the students' parents.
It was decided in the meeting that SCERT, being the academic authority of the NCT of Delhi for the purpose of Section 29 of the RTE Act, would prepare the grade-wise learning outcomes by adopting/adapting the NCERT's draft in the context of Delhi.
