The Delhi government on January 20 resent the file regarding teachers’ training in Finland, to Delhi Lieutenant General V.K. Saxena. An appeal has been made on behalf of the Delhi government that Delhi L-G should not become a hindrance in teachers’ training and give approval immediately.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on January 13 described Lieutenant-Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena’s refusal to allow an international teacher training programme in Finland as an attack on Delhi’s education model.
The L-G House did not comment on why the proposal was not cleared.
Mr. Sisodia said the L-G has declined to give approval to the proposed training of primary teaching in-charges and educators of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) in Finland and has asked the department to provide a cost-benefit analysis in tangible terms.
“Delhi’s education model has made India proud all over the world. Instead of helping to make that education model more glorious, the L-G is focused on stopping the unique initiatives. It is very shameful,” Mr. Sisodia said. He added that training and exposure of teachers and principals to global best practices are important components of the Delhi’s education model.
So far, the Delhi government has sent 1,079 of its teachers to different countries through its various foreign exposure visits/training. Of these, 59 teachers have gone to Finland, 420 to Cambridge, and 600 to Singapore for training. Apart from this, to date 860 school principals have taken training in prestigious institutes like IIM-Ahmedabad and IIM-Lucknow.
SCERT, Delhi, has prepared a proposal for a five-day training programme for primary in-charges of Delhi government schools and teacher educators of SCERT at Jyväskylä University in Finland.
