A bold new lesson in Delhi schools: Mentors to teach, upgrade teachers
Posted by: 2016-05-27 03:43:59 ,By Raj Kumar
DON?T look at the textbook. Talk to me.? In a newly built classroom in Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Sector 3, Rohini, Janmejay Sharma has his students slightly puzzled. Not with his questions ?

Sharma is one of 200 ?mentors? ? an elite cadre of Delhi government teachers ? working to improve learning in 1,000 schools under the Directorate of Education, with 16 lakh students. They comprise an interesting experiment in the Aam Aadmi Party government?s larger plan to revamp government schools.
