New Delhi, May 20

The Delhi government has come up with a ‘Spoken English Course’ for the students of the schools run by the Directorate of Education (DoE). The government has partnered with the British Council, India-McMillan Education, Academy for Computers Training (Gujarat) and Trinity College (London) in the move aimed to enhance the speaking skills in the widely spoken English language.

Applications have been invited from the regular students, who have enrolled in Class X and have passed in three subjects other than English in the Pre-Board Examinations. The last date of enrolment is May 23, as tweeted by Deputy CM Manish Sisodia.

The course would be conducted in selected schools run by the DoE in June. 

CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: "Government school students mostly come from economically poor backgrounds. When I meet them, this was their biggest demand — Sir, 'hame English bolna sikhwa dijiye.' (Sir, help us to learn spoken English). I am so happy this course is now starting for government school students." — TNS
