Deputy chief minister and education minister Manish Sisodia today exhorted the teachers and educators to eliminate fear from the minds of the students while teaching them.

Teachers must build capacity in the children to learn more and more, leaving behind fear and shyness, Sisodia said while inaugurating one-day capacity building programme on “Elimination of Corporal Punishments” organised by the State Council of Educational Research and Training at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi today.

“Corporal punishment leads to fear and needs to be replaced with love and understanding of the students,” said the deputy CM.

Sisodia emphasised for the promotion of positivity, happiness and moral values and later launched online capacity building programme on 'Elimination of Corporal Punishment in Schools'.

“Almost all the leading IT or software companies across the world have Indians as their employees, but none as employers. We as employees get salaries and are satisfied, whereas, the owners get dividends lifelong or for generations, this is due to the fear or lack of confidence in oneself," while addressing over 1,300 heads of schools form the private, government and aided schools.

The programme aimed to provide in-depth understanding about the different issues related to corporal punishment, legal provision against corporal punishment and to empower teachers in broad context and perspective of corporal punishment.

Partners with British Council to upgrade skills

The Delhi government today partnered with the British Council to strengthen educational cooperation between the two sides. This will enable up gradation of skills in English language learning, youth skilling and art and culture, as per the government.

Sisodia signed an MoU with Alan Gemmell OBE, Director of the British Council India, at Rajkiya Sarvodaya Kanya/ Bal Vidyalaya in West Vinod Nagar here.

Sisodia said, “Our government is very focused on education of children because they are the future. Though we have been working with the British Council, but this MoU is to expand the scope of our engagements to skill development of youth and cooperation in art and culture as well.”

Gemmell said: “Delhi has been at the heart of our story in India for the past 70 years and with this partnership we are building the story of our next 70 years. We’ve been delighted to launch this new partnership at a Delhi government school. We are inspired by the teachers and students of the school and by the ambitious vision of the deputy CM for education across Delhi.”
