Gurgaon private schools told to post students’ profiles on education portal

The education board of Gurgaon has incorporated some new protocols in regard to the school listings on their official educational site.

 

The govt. of Haryana has a successful educational portal that goes by the name of the Management Information System (MIS). This site consists of all details related to schools in the state; their administration, database and strength- all form an important part of this website. All the top schools in Gurgaon are also a part of this great initiative of the government.

 

Now, as a new ruling, the District Education Officer has announced it mandatory for all the public schools of Gurgaon, and that includes all the top schools in Gurgaon-even the best school in Gurgaon, to include each of their students’ profile on the portal. The profile also needs to clarify the date when a particular student got enrolled in the school. The government has also asked the schools to link these student profiles with their correct Aadhaar numbers. The Aadhaar linking has been made compulsory as the students are not eligible for any other valid identification documents.

 

This new ruling is an effort to keep the double admissions in check. The DEO had earlier noticed some parents getting their children admitted to both the CBSE and Haryana State board schools in order to avail certain benefits. It will help the government to put together a database of all the students in Gurgaon.

 

Commenting on this new endeavor the DEO Neelam Bhandari mentioned that the schools have already been asked to contact the administration if they want to hold any Aadhaar enrolment camps for the students. “We already have collated the data of 1,12,703 students of government schools and the profiles were linked with their Aadhaar numbers before being put up on the portal. However, the private schools are yet to send us the profiles of their statements,” the DEO stated.

 

Almost all the top schools in Gurgaon are run by private authorities, including the best school in Gurgaon. These schools have lauded this initiative by the DEO and also expressed their positive stance regarding this decision. Most of them have mentioned that they have started furnishing out their students’ data to be uploaded on the website. Many of their students are already ready with their Aadhaar cards and started providing all its details to their schools.

 

Dhriti Malhotra, principal of Manav Rachna School, also agreed on already having started the uploading process from their senior-most students. They have also sent out notices to the parents to let them know of this new development and have urged them to get their wards’ Aadhaar cards developed.

 

Speaking about the same, Rakhi Verma, the principal of the Ryan International School, said that their school has already uploaded the details of their senior students. The school also held an Aadhaar enrolment camp recently to aid all the other students who did not have their Aadhaar cards ready at hand.

Going by its general meaning, internationalism is a political term that advocates greater political or economic cooperation among states and nations. In terms of education, internationalism denotes a learning model that seeks to deepen systematic instructional processes to learners in different platforms across the world by sharing culture and different study approach.

The schools in Noida extension and schools in Greater Noida West are gradually adopting the concept of internationalism in education; Delhi World Public School being a notable one out of them. And with that, these schools are not only focusing on developing global citizens but also making their students ready to take on some real challenges that they are very likely to face in life. The students also get exposed to varied ideas and cultures that are not yet very common in India.

In an effort to establish the importance of internationalism in education, these schools in Noida Extension and the schools in Greater Noida West host a plethora of a week-long celebration each year in the name of International Education Week. The main focus on celebrating such an event was to inculcate feelings of international co-existence among the students.
