Delhi govt officers assigned as mentors to 56 low-performing schools
Each officer will be responsible for mentoring one school throughout 2025–26 and is expected to conduct inspections at least once a fortnight, submitting reports via the online MIS portal.
The initiative, detailed in a circular issued by the Inspection Cell on Tuesday, includes schools from various districts and zones and aims to provide intensive handholding and oversight. Officers are required to fill detailed inspection reports in a prescribed format, evaluating academic indicators such as subject-wise performance, attendance, support materials and use of Teaching-Learning Materials (TLMs), the circular states.
The move ties into the ongoing 'Mission Mathematics' and special enrichment classes campaign, which targets foundational learning gaps and aims to make mathematics more engaging for students from Classes VI to X. All zonal and district-level education officers have been instructed to monitor the effective implementation of academic programmes and ensure targeted support for struggling students, it added.

Inspect, update report, assess academic indicators: Over 50 Delhi govt schools flagged for poor results, put under mentorship
The Delhi Education Department has identified 56 government schools with the lowest pass percentages in Class 9 and Class 11 during the 2024-25 academic session, and placed them under the direct mentorship of its senior officers. The list, prepared based on result analysis by the Directorate of Education (DOE)'s Exam Branch, includes schools where Class 9 pass percentages dipped as low as 45.37 per cent. Among the lowest-performing schools in Class 9 are West Azad Nagar-Government Co-ed SSS (pass percentage: 45.37 per cent), Qutab Road-SBV (46.75 per cent), Katewara-GBSSS (48.57 per cent), and Bindapur-GBSSS (50.83 per cent). Several others recorded pass rates in the range of 51–59 per cent. Only two schools from the list were flagged for low performance in Class 11 — Sunder Nagari-GBSSS and Keshavpuram-SBV. In a circular Tuesday, DOE assigned one officer to each school 'for mentoring the overall academic performance during the session 2025-26'. 'Mentors are expected to visit the respective schools at least once in a fortnight and submit the Inspection Report… preferably on the same day of visit,' read the circular. Deputy directors of education (DDEs) from various zones and districts have been tasked with adopting these schools. After conducting the inspections, the officers must submit updated, detailed reports to the Delhi Education Management Information System (MIS), according to officials. As part of the inspection, officials will assess a comprehensive set of academic indicators, including the identification of low-performing subjects, teacher vacancies, student attendance, availability of learning materials, usage of NCERT textbooks, the status of ICT labs, and the implementation of vocational education, among others. The officials would check whether school heads and teachers have adopted individual low-performing students for academic mentoring, and whether their progress is being tracked. A verification of the usage of CBSE/DoE-issued sample papers, action plans for low achievers, and whether parents are being regularly informed about attendance and performance will also be done. Beyond a one-time intervention, the academic recovery plan is grounded in long-term monitoring. The mentors have been instructed to observe three-year result trends for classes 9 to 12. With year-wise performance and fail percentages being tracked, this is also not the first time the Delhi Government has undertaken the initiative. In 2024, 67 Delhi Government schools were put under 32 district-level officers in the Education Department for mentorship. The circular also refers to Mission Mathematics, an ongoing programme introduced to strengthen math learning, which was expanded this year to Classes 6 to 10. The officials are expected to monitor the implementation of this programme and Teaching Learning Material (TLM) competitions during their school visits. The emphasis, the Directorate noted, is on 'need-based academic support' and improving learning outcomes in a 'joyful' and 'centric' manner.

Jun 30, 2025 10:53 PM IST Only nine girls secured admission during the second round of counselling held under the reserved category for the Senior Secondary Residential Schools for Meritorious Students on Monday.

Students during counselling for admissions into Class 11 of state meritorious school at the Ludhiana centre on Monday. (Manish/HT) Vishal Kumar, MIS coordinator, informed that the eight girl students from private schools secured admission at various meritorious schools through the Ludhiana centre. Among them, one student was admitted to the commerce stream at Ludhiana Meritorious School, six students were allocated seats at SAS Nagar school, with five opting for the non-medical stream and one for commerce, and another student chose the non-medical stream at Talwara school. Additionally, one girl student was admitted under the WHH category. The eligibility criteria for reserved categories require SC/ST candidates to have minimum 65% marks in Class 10, while other reserved categories must meet a 70% threshold. Moreover, only Class 10 certificates downloaded from the Punjab School Education Board's DigiLocker portal, properly signed and stamped by the school principal, are accepted for verification. To encourage diversity, 10% of seats in meritorious schools are reserved for students from recognised private and aided schools in Punjab. However, principal Satwant Kaur of Ludhiana Meritorious School revealed that around 90 seats across all the categories are still vacant at the Ludhiana centre. 'We expect these seats to be filled in the upcoming round of counselling, which will be announced soon,' she said. Kaur added that no students from the differently-abled category attended the counselling at Ludhiana. 'The final number of students admitted here will only be clear once they officially join the school,' she stated.
