To transform education in the capital, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched its latest initiative, "Shiksha Par Baat," designed to put parents at the forefront of shaping Delhi’s education policy. With a focus on harnessing real insights from those closest to students, this move marks another step in the AAP's ongoing education revolution that has been in motion since 2015- reports India Today.
Known for initiatives like the Happiness Curriculum and Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum, AAP continues to break new ground with "Shiksha Par Baat," encouraging parents to play an active role in improving the city's schools. Through frequent Parent-Teacher Meetings and revamped School Management Committees, the initiative seeks to create a platform for open dialogue where parents can share suggestions and concerns about their children's academic environment.
This collaborative approach is already yielding impressive results. Schools across Delhi report higher pass percentages and better learning outcomes due to increased parent involvement. Teachers feel more empowered, and students benefit from a well-rounded educational experience beyond textbooks.
"Shiksha Par Baat" is part of Delhi’s broader education overhaul, which has seen significant improvements in school infrastructure and teaching methods over the past several years. AAP has allocated 25% of its budget to education—a testament to its commitment to the sector.
The government aims to foster a more inclusive and responsive education system by involving parents directly in policy discussions. This initiative can potentially set a precedent for education governance across India, where parental engagement often takes a back seat.
With "Shiksha Par Baat," AAP once again proves that it is not just about building better schools but creating a truly collaborative education model where parents, teachers, and policymakers work together to ensure students thrive. Will this innovative approach redefine education in the capital? Only time will tell, but the early signs are promising.
