Mathematician Anand Kumar whose biopic ‘Super 30’ has been recently released, on Wednesday said the government schools in Delhi give him hope, and are a model that need to be urgently replicated across the country. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia accompanied Anand Kumar, the founder of Super 30 classes and the inspiration of a recent Bollywood film, to Delhi government’s Shaheed Hemu Kalani Sarvodaya Vidyalaya in Lajpat Nagar on Wednesday.
The two visited a Happiness Class during the ‘Happiness Utsav’, which is being celebrated in government schools from July 16th to 31st. Kumar also took a tour of the school, including the science laboratories, libraries, music room, art room, etc. Impressed by the government schools of Delhi, Anand Kumar said, ”I too had studied in a government school as a child. But today, the condition of government schools across the country has deteriorated to such an extent that there is a huge gap between private school and government schools. But the government schools in Delhi give me hope. These schools are equipped to match upto private schools and I have a desire to learn in the students here. Delhi’s government schools give us a model that needs to be urgently replicated across the country. In fact, I would like to congratulate Manish Sisodia because I have heard great things about Delhi’s education revolution not just in India but abroad as well.”
”The Happiness Class is extremely beneficial to students. It is clear the children in this school are stress free. This is a positive sign for the children, the school and the country’s future. Schools across the country need to adopt this curriculum. Children learn only when they are meaningfully engaged and interested in school,” he said. Both Anand Kumar and Education Minister Mr Sisodia attended a Happiness class and closely interacted with the students.
