    HINDUSTAN TIMES-C FORE TOP SCHOOL SURVEY

    EAST DELHI

    TOP SCHOOL

    T

    he Commonwealth Games

    may have given east Delhi a

    fillip (and some headaches)

    in terms of roads, housing

    and other infrastructure, but

    the area's schools didn't need any such

    reason to upgrade their own facilities

    to keep pace with the demands of

    todays students and parents.

    The parameter-wise results of the

    Hindustan Times - C fore Top School

    survey highlight the various strengths

    of the schools here. DAV, Sreshtha

    Vihar has topped in the sports cate-

    gory, while Somerville School,

    Vasundhara Enclave

    has the highest value

    for money score.

    One of east Delhi's

    most well known

    schools, Ahlcon

    International, Mayur

    Vihar, has been ahead

    of the curve in many respects. Though

    the Continuous and Comprehensive

    Evaluation (CCE) of the CBSE came

    into effect this year, the school has

    always placed emphasis on a balanced,

    overall development for its students,

    and not just high marks. Art, music,

    dance all are compulsory till class

    8, said Ashok Pandey, Principal.

    Many schools here believe in appli-

    cation-based education allowing stu-

    dents to innovate and invent. Other

    schools are engaged in one or the other

    activity but Ahlcon stresses everything

    equally, said Charu Sood, a class 10

    student. Ahlcon International topped

    the survey in the innovative teaching,

    extra-curricular activities and com-

    petence of teachers parameters,

    among others.

    TECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING

    The school also maps each student's

    progress electronically. From grades,

    to which books they are checking out

    from the library- we use it all to take

    decisions about the child. Data reduces

    subjectivity to almost nil in student

    evaluation, added Pandey.

    Equality of opportunity is something

    many schools here stress, particular-

    ly since parents want their children to

    participate and excel in various activ-

    ities be it dramatics or sports.

    Favouritism, being a 'teacher's pet', are

    trends on the decline.

    Schools are also trying to provide

    good exposure to students. Exchange

    programs with schools in Germany are

    a matter of pride for Salwan Public

    School(SPS), Mayur Vihar, Phase- III,

    among others. It is important to get

    a global perspective, which is why

    tie-ups with foreign schools are

    important, said Desna Srimani, a stu-

    dent at the school. Salwan topped the

    individual attention to students

    and infrastructure and facilities

    parameters.

    Teachers at SPS have attended

    workshops at various IITs, IIMs and

    even Harvard University in the United

    States. The mantra here is to provide

    excellent training to its teachers, which

    benefits students in turn.

    Which is probably why students such

    as Mayuri V Raman of SPS said, I

    can't live without my school.

    They might have not made it to the top 10, but hold as much promise

    as their crowned counter parts. Here is a list of other options.

    THEY TOO MAKE THE GRADE...

    MAYUR PUBLIC SCHOOL

    I P EXTENSION

    The school infrastructure includes an

    auditorium, well-equipped laboratories

    and a vast library .The students are sen-

    This new age institution provides mod-

    ern, IT-based, diverse educational oppor-

    tunities for development of Gen-next

    with special emphasis on enhancement

    of communication skills.

    Studies are not a burden for

    us at schools in the area. The

    various activities in school take

    the stress away.

    D E S N A S R I M A N I , student

    Because of the friendly

    interaction between students and

    teachers, I think study is just a mat-

    ter of play.

    TOMORROW

    To find out which West

    Delhi schools come out on

    top in various categories,

    look out for the Top School

    survey in tomorrow's HT

    The survey was conducted in three phas-

    es. In phase-1, schools were invited to

    provide information on academic and

    non-academic facilities, performance of

    students and profile of teachers. Then

    research agency C fore shortlisted

    schools for the second round, in which a

    perceptual survey was carried out with a

    sample of 3,000 parents and teachers

    across the city's six zones. They were

    asked to assess schools they were aware

    of on a scale of 10 against 14 parameters.

    Results of the perceptual survey were

    combined with objective data from the

    first round to rank schools. In phase-3, C

    fore researchers visited the schools to

    conduct an audit and finalise rankings.

    Perceptual data scores were extrapolated

    for schools that did not participate.
