Education in Delhi Schools: Rhetoric vs. Reality Delhi-School-Education-Rep-June-2018 | Page 37

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CAMPAIGN
1. Delhi Government should create new syllabuses for different subjects keeping
in view the contemporary job market requirements.
2. New books should be developed based on the new syllabuses. Besides
covering subjects, these books should also include pedagogical instructions
for teachers.
3. Delhi Government should immediately launch a new “teacher eligibility
program” in order to assess the employed teachers’ suitability in the modern
education ecosystem.
4. Teachers should be asked to appear in a properly designed test covering
different subjects. Only those teachers should be retained who clear the test
comprehensively. The services of failed teachers must be terminated.
5. The salary of new teachers should be based on the performance of their
students in the class and in the job market.
6. The services of teachers who ask students to attend private tuitions must be
terminated.
7. Delhi Government should create a special cell to handle each and every
complaint from students or parents. Depending on the complaint, the services
of teachers must be suspended before initiating legal proceedings against
them.
8. Retired teachers - most of whom are clueless about the modern education
systems - should never be appointed as teachers.
