Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood reaffirmed the government’s commitment to children’s safety and all-round development, calling it a top priority in both policy and resource allocation.
Speaking at an orientation programme at Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, Chirag Delhi, Ashish Sood addressed students and parents beginning the new academic year. Highlighting the government’s initiative, he said, “These orientation sessions are designed to help parents understand their child’s learning environment and build a connection with teachers and school staff.”
He acknowledged the anxiety of parents whose children are attending school for the first time, and encouraged them to engage closely with school activities. “Only by visiting schools and interacting with educators will you truly understand the atmosphere your child is stepping into,” he added.
He emphasized that government schools in Delhi have a legacy of producing top professionals, from doctors to civil servants and urged parents not to view them as inferior to private institutions. “Don’t let perceptions limit your child’s potential,” he said.
