SDM report identifies six major lapses in Gandhi Nagar school incident

SDM report identifies six major lapses in Gandhi Nagar school incident

 An incident of rape of a minor girl in a MCD recognized school in Gandhi Nagar was reported.

Revenue Minister Mr Kailash Gahlot had directed the SDM, Vivek Vihar, to conduct an inquiry to find out as to whose negligence lead to this unfortunate accident.  He was also directed to suggest the measures to avoid such incidents in future in school premises.

The report of the SDM has been received and is being forwarded to the Deputy Chief Minister Mr Manish Sisodia for his perusal and to decide the further course of action.

            Following major lapses have been identified by the SDM in the functioning of the school building :-

1.      Unhindered access given to the accused to all the areas of school.  The accused was working for the school, though formal appointment letter does not appear to have been issued by the school.  The movement of the accused and other such non-teaching employees was required to be restricted so that he does not have any contact with the school children;

2.      The room of the Nursery Class where the incident happened, should have been locked after the Nursery Class timings were over.  Unlocked pitch-dark class room of the school facilitated the accused in his nefarious intentions;

3.      Non-coverage of the whole school building under CCTV Cameras reduced the deterrence effect;

4.      The accused had been working in the school for almost 2.5 years without undergoing any kind of verification and background check by the school authorities / police;

5.      EDMC has not taken any action against the school for undertaking classes in un-recognized areas of school building;

6.      The last Safety Audit was conducted by the School Inspector of EDMC in December 2016.  However, the Safety Audit Report does not have any parameters with regard to the police verification of employees, installation of CCTV Cameras, entry/exit restrictions for unauthorized people etc.

Delhi government Mega PTM organised in all schools; parents throng schools in large numbers

 

New Delhi: 01/09/2017

Delhi government successfully organised this year’s first Mega Parent Teacher Meeting (PTM) on Friday in all its 1041 schools.

After introducing the concept in government schools the last year, Mega PTMs have assumed an important platform for interaction between teachers and parents in Delhi’s government schools. The turnout of parents and children in today’s PTMs across the city was very encouraging.

Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia visited several government schools in Hari Nagar and Shakti Nagar to interact with parents, children and teachers.

After his interactions, he said “It is evident that the parent teacher engagement which the government aimed to institutionalise through Mega PTMs has been achieved. We are happy that this exercise, which used to be limited to big private schools, has now become an integral part of the culture of government schools. I congratulate all Principals and teachers for making this Mega PTM a success.”

Delhi government Mega PTMs have attained a special importance in Delhi. The government makes an effort to reach out to parents of children in government schools through FM radio and newspaper ads, in which the Education Minister himself invites parents to schools. Schools are directed to warmly welcome all parents, by offering them refreshments. In today’s PTM as well, the festive atmosphere was on display, with school gates decorated and welcome parties of school children placed at school lobbies, to welcome parents into the school.

Mega PTMs have had a tremendous social impact in Delhi. Parents of children studying in government schools now feel a sense of pride that their schools are comparable to expensive private schools. Parents can also freely enter schools to meet and interact with teachers. The Delhi government is committed to transforming government schools, in order to ensure access to quality education to every child in Delhi.
