We are pleased to partner with Burlington English to deliver learning opportunities to our students and teachers. It is important for 21st century learners to confidently communicate in English. This opens up a plethora of opportunities for them in the future. We have initiated Project Voices in Delhi government schools to boost students' confidence and communication skills.”
More Details
Under this agreement more than 200 students of the Delhi government's Dr BR Ambedkar Schools of Specialised Excellence will be trained in reading, writing and speaking in English. School teachers will also be trained for language improvement and enhanced learning outcomes so that they can support students better.
The students will get all-around support for developing English language communication, which will be powered by deep technology. A wide range of learning options will be provided to students of Classes 1–12 in other Delhi government schools as well, that are not yet affiliated with DBSE. While for Classes 1 to 5, it would work to level up language acquisition by integrating content and technology to improve the way the English language is learnt, covering interesting themes; for Classes 9 to 12, it would aim to boost the spoken English skills amongst the students to support their future skilling and employability needs.
Debating Programmes will further be organised to supplement these efforts, to draw students’ engagement and provide them with a platform to showcase their language skills.
