A Mega parent-teacher meeting (PTM) will be organised for students from classes 3 to 8 in all schools run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and Delhi Government schools on April 30. This will be the first time that Delhi government schools, under the ambit of the Directorate of Education, and those run by the MCD will hold mega PTM together. Delhi Education Minister Atishi and Mayor Dr. Shelly Oberoi announced the plan during a press conference on Monday. The Education Minister urged all parents to participate in the Mega PTM and provide suggestions for their children’s education as well as for the improvement of schools.
“As you all know that for the AAP government, education is the highest priority department, we are going to initiate a similar model to MCD schools too. We are going to organise a mega PTM on the 30th involving parents from both MCD and Delhi government schools. Delhi government schools under the Directorate of Education (DoE) and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will hold Mega PTMs together for the first time. Parents have always been important stakeholders in the process of education,” Atishi said addressing a press conference. “Education has always been the priority of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government. In view of the same, in the past few years, the government raised the budget for education, improved school infrastructure, and focused exclusively on providing a conducive learning environment to children in government schools. But apart from all this, we also worked to connect parents, important stakeholders of the education system, with the schools. Parents are one of the most important stakeholders in the education model. We appeal to parents to join the meeting in large numbers,” Atishi said.
MCD Mayor Dr Shelly Oberoi said parents play a vital role in their wards’ education. “That’s the reason we are going to organise a mega PTM on the 30th of April. Parents will have one-to-one communication with teachers,” Oberoi said. Talking about the importance of MCD schools, she said, “MCD schools are primary schools up to the 5th standard. This builds the foundation of students.” During PTM, parents will also judge the atmosphere and surroundings of the school, she added.
