NEW DELHI — With an aim to boost the educational standards of minority schools and to promote education in minority communities in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, Delhi Minorities Commission on Saturday organized a seminar at the conference hall of the Delhi Secretariat here.
Attended by over a hundred principals, managers and teachers of minority schools in NCT of Delhi, the seminar focussed on how to enhance the performance of teaching and learning in minority schools in order to bring them at par with the best schools in the country.
Dr. Prabhjot Kaur who is an accomplished educationist with a long experience of promoting better reading, writing and understanding skills in India and the US conducted the seminar. She gave away many tips to the principals and teachers on how to improve reading, writing and attention skills of their students in order to improve their reading index. She gave real life examples of children considered weak and uninterested in their studies but who, by adoption of some simple techniques, became interested in their studies and did very well in later years of their education and careers.
While speaking on the occasion, DMC Chairman Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan said that the Commission wants to raise the standards of the minority schools so that they be counted among the best in the country. He said a minority school has the same infrastructure and skilled teachers that the best schools have, and with a little change in focus and attitude they too can become one of the best.
Minorities Commission Member Kartar Singh Kochhar announced that the Commission will continue this initiative by holding more such seminars across Delhi, preferably in minority schools in various areas of the NCT.
