Education does not simply mean cramming over the minds with dead mass of dry facts. It means a holistic development of an individual to lead a good life.
One can't stress the value of education in words, more than the sentiments explicitly expressed by the former President of the United States of America.
"If you think education is expensive wait until you see how much ignorance will cost you in the 21st century" - Barack Obama.
In addition, people have even estimated education will be the currency of the 21st century and, now, you could very easily evaluate the value of education.
It is therefore, important we must ensure to shape up the life of our kids in the school itself. So that, they're ready to face the world with optimum confidence.
The Govt of Delhi has taken many initiatives to improve the infrastructure and schools, and has brought newer ideas and innovation in the education sector.
It would be relevant to mention, there will always be ifs and buts, and pros and cons when something good is started. But again, it is absolute necessity to laud the initiatives, and be patient for the results to be palpable for everyone to see.
Let's find out...!!!
