Mentorship Initiative to Boost Academic Standards in Delhi Schools

The Directorate of Education in Delhi will adopt 56 underperforming schools as part of a mentorship program for the 2025-26 academic session, aimed at improving academic outcomes. Assigned officers will monitor, guide, and support these schools to enhance teaching methods and learning outcomes, focusing on initiatives like Mission Mathematics.

The Directorate of Education in Delhi is launching a mentorship program targeting 56 schools with less than 60% passing rates in the Class IX and XI exams. This strategic move aims to enhance the academic results for the 2025-26 session.

Officers are now assigned to these underperforming schools to provide targeted mentoring. This initiative involves monitoring teaching methods, assessment practices, and learning outcomes. The move follows an analysis by the DoE's Exam Branch, based on which these struggling schools were identified.

The department stresses that officers must visit their assigned schools at least bi-weekly, offering guidance and support. In addition, emphasis is placed on important initiatives like Mission Mathematics to facilitate conceptual clarity and make education more engaging.
