The Delhi government is set to recognise the school that demonstrates the most exemplary management committee at the annual Excellence in Education Awards. The selection of the winner will be based on criteria including its influence on student attendance and responsible utilisation of funds, according to an official statement.
To vie for the ‘School with Best Management Committee Award,’ schools are required to submit their applications through the head of school by January 2nd, 2024, according to officials from the Delhi government. The successful candidate will be chosen following a thorough evaluation of their performance during the academic session of 2022-23, the statement mentioned.
“School Management Committees (SMCs) formed under the Right to Education Act have worked tirelessly with schools to enhance parental participation, over years. Evaluation criteria to award the SMC include impact on student attendance, judicious use of funds, counselling, making school a safe space for children, and community service,” Atishi, education minister, Delhi, said.
“The management committees raise the benchmark of what Delhi government schools can offer to our kids,” she added.
