There has been news of big negligence in the schools of Delhi. An RTI reply has revealed that only a third of the schools under the Delhi government is teaching science subjects to class 11 and 12 students. The education department of the Delhi government has given this information in response to an application filed by PTI under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
How many schools opened from 2015 to 2022
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in its 2015 Delhi Assembly election manifesto promised to build 500 new schools in the city, opening just 63 new schools between February 2015 and May 2022, according to RTI. The RTI sought information on the number of Delhi government schools teaching science and commerce subjects in classes 11th and 12th as well as the number of new schools opened by the government between February 2015 and May 2022 in the city. Where information relating to 326 schools was obtained through RTI application. Whereas the data of other schools was collected from the website of the Directorate of Education.
so is the number of schools
A total of 838 higher secondary school data is available through RTI. Of these, only 279 schools teach science subjects and 674 schools offer commerce subjects to class 11 and 12 students. That is, about 66 percent of the city's government schools do not teach science subjects, while about 19 percent do not teach commerce subjects in two classes. The total number of schools under the Delhi government is 1,047, which includes secondary and secondary schools.
the worst here
According to the information given in the RTI reply, the condition of schools in the central district in the national capital is the worst. Out of 31 higher secondary schools, only four teach science, and 10 schools teach commerce. A PIL was filed in the Delhi High Court in the year 2017 regarding the non-availability of science and commerce subjects in Delhi government schools. It said that the subjects of science and commerce have been allocated "unequally".
This is an injustice to the students of the area.
What did the petitioner say?
Advocate Yusuf Naki, who filed the petition, said, "On my petition, the Delhi High Court had issued notice to the Delhi government, in response to which the government had filed an affidavit saying that it would start teaching science and commerce subjects in about 50 schools." Will give Thereafter the court disposed of the petition. According to Naki, the government had then said in its reply that science subjects were taught in 291 government schools.
what did the officer say?
An education department official, on condition of anonymity, told PTI, "The school needs infrastructure to start teaching science subjects in class 11th and 12th. Students need room to sit. Apart from this, there should also be laboratories for subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology. The official said that if the number of students taking science-related subjects is such that at least one section is formed, schools send the file to the planning branch, which gets approval and other requirements are met. According to the principal of a government school in Delhi, apart from the laboratory, rooms, and teachers, it is also necessary that if a child has to study science and commerce in class 11, he should have at least science, maths, and English in class 10. Should have secured 55 percent marks and 50 percent marks in each. Children are not getting enough marks in a science subject.
Not enough points and incentives
The principal, on condition of anonymity, said, "The children are neither getting enough marks to take science subjects nor are they being encouraged to take science subjects." JV Shanmukh Kumar, professor of chemistry at KL Deemed-to-Be University, said that if children do not study science subjects in higher secondary classes, the doors of medical and engineering fields will be closed for them. Students will also not be able to make a career in the field of technology or environment, while in the future there will be more jobs in these fields. Therefore, there is a need to encourage children to pursue science subjects at the higher secondary level.
Science essential to research and innovation
University professor Lavanya Shivpurapu said that science is essential for research and innovation. There is a great need for engineers and the COVID-19 pandemic has proved that India is unprepared to deal with emergency medical situations. We need experts in the field of medicine, paramedical, and radiology. Shivpurapu said that to go into these fields, one has to study science subjects in classes 11th and 12th.
