NEW DELHI, Aug 31: The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday launched a virtual school for students from across the country.
Lunching the school with an online media briefing, Kejriwal said the Delhi Model Virtual School (DMVS) would be for Classes 9-12 and any student from across the country would be eligible for admission. The application process for admission began with immediate effect.
“The admission to the schooling platform will be open for students across India and they will also be prepared by experts for entrance exams like NEET, CUET and JEE along with skill-based training,” Kejriwal said.
The Chief Minister said the first virtual school in the country would prove to be a milestone in the education sector. “There are many children who cannot go to school since there are issues like the school being far away or other obstacles. Many parents do not get their daughters educated since they don’t want to send them out.
“We are starting this virtual school to ensure they get educated. This school is inspired by virtual classes that had been necessitated due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. The classes will be online and recorded lectures will also be uploaded online, Kejriwal added.
