Project implemented across 33 DBSE schools
The project is being implemented across 33 DBSE schools with 12 teachers covering around 3000 students, wherein French is being offered to students from classes VI to X. To ensure progress for the key beneficiaries of this project i.e students, teachers teaching French in DBSE schools are being provided with linguistic and pedagogical training for skills and quality improvement. Additionally, Language Labs equipped with high-tech audio-visual materials holding diverse French language content have also been installed in DBSE schools to cater to each student individually in improving their linguistic capabilities, particularly speaking and listening; while making French language classes more fun for students.
The first French language lab was inaugurated at the Dr B R Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence (SOSE sector 17 - Rohini). The inaugural event was graced by Rajesh Mukhija (Advisor-CSR, Hero MotoCorp Ltd.), Emmanuel Lebrun-Damiens (Country Director, French Institute in India), Himanshu Gupta (Director - Education, Government of NCT Delhi), and Prashant Lahoti (Managing Trustee, Franco Indian Education Trust).
