: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday handed over appointment letters to 1,368 newly appointed teachers in Delhi government schools and said that ensuring better education, health, and a bright future for every child remains the government’s foremost commitment.Ms. Gupta said the occasion was not merely about handing over appointment letters, but about further strengthening the responsibility of ensuring better education for lakhs of children and their families in Delhi. “Delhi is a city of dreams for people who have come from different parts of the country, and every child studying in a Delhi government school is a child of Delhi,” the CM said. Ms. Gupta said the addition of new teachers would mean better academic support, guidance and new opportunities for thousands of students studying in Delhi government schools. She said that the recruitment drive is an important step towards filling vacant posts in government schools and strengthening teaching capacity.The CM said that from her interactions with students during visits to schools, she learnt that several schools did not have teachers for subjects such as science and music. “At times, a limited number of teachers had to handle several classes. The experience highlighted the seriousness of the challenges related to teacher availability, following which work was undertaken with the Education Department to address these issues,” she said. Education Minister Ashish Sood said the addition of 1,368 new teachers to Delhi’s education family was not merely an increase in the number of appointments, but an important step towards strengthening the future of thousands of students. “Our goal is clear: wherever a teacher is needed, a teacher should be available. Wherever a subject expert is required, there should be a specialist teacher and every child in Delhi should have an equal opportunity to receive quality education,” Mr. Sood said.
