The Delhi government has honoured schools that have made “holistic contributions” in the field of education. This was stated in an official statement by the state government.
The ‘Excellence in Education’ award ceremony was organised at the Thyagaraj Stadium on Monday and 48 schools were awarded under various categories for 2020 and 45 schools for 2021.
In addition to these, 276 toppers of class 10th and 12th were also awarded. Speaking on the occasion, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, “teachers are the biggest partners in nation building as they influence thousands of lives with their work. Even in the difficult times of Covid, the responsibility with which the teachers gave the message of ”learning never stops” is really commendable.”
Sisodia said that the education model of Delhi is not just a model of leadership but a result of the collective efforts of ‘Team Education’. “Schools get success when they perform well but to become excellent, out-of-the-box thinking is required and it is because of their uniqueness and new innovation that schools get these awards. But after winning the award, their challenge increases because now they compete with themselves to become better,” he said.
