24 ‘high-performing schools’ set to show the way to 1,500 MCD schools in Delhi

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has identified 24 schools as 'Nigam Shri Schools of Excellence', aiming to boost public confidence in the education system. Located in the 12 zones of the Capital, these high-performing schools will serve as model institutions, setting an example for the remaining 1,500 MCD schools. The selection process, overseen by Yogesh Verma, Chairperson of the Education Committee, involved meticulous assessment and screening.

The announcement was made during the Teachers' Day ceremony at Kedarnath Sahni Auditorium and coincided with the launch of two other initiatives: 'Pratibhagita' to strengthen parental engagement and school leadership, and the MCD Football Mini League to create a structured grassroots sports ecosystem for students. 'Pratibhagita' is being implemented in collaboration with Rocket Learning, a nonprofit, to enhance parent-school communication and support students' learning at home.

Parents of pre-primary students will receive play-based foundational learning activities and audio-visual content, while parents of primary school students will get updates on school announcements and initiatives.
