The Delhi government has made the decision to begin offering advanced math sessions to sixth-grade pupils. Supporting people who are falling behind and those who struggle with mathematics is the goal.
What if math-challenged pupils were given another chance—not under more pressure, but with improved assistance and specialized instruction? That is the rationale for the most recent action taken by the Delhi government to broaden its Mission Mathematics initiative. Students in government schools in Classes 6 and 7 will now be a part of the effort, which has already proven promise in higher classes, as of the current academic year.
Revised Support Program Targets Broader Student Needs
A new circular that was issued on Monday, June 23, broadens the scope of a support program to help more students. Today, the program serves people who need just a little encouragement as well as others who need a lot of aid. Students who received less than 40% in mathematics, passed with honors, or took compartment exams will be given preference. In order to provide focused support for children who have been identified as requiring the appropriate push to achieve, teachers are also free to nominate pupils based on their observations in the classroom.
Details of the Special Mathematics Enrichment (SME) Program
When Special Mathematics Enrichment (SME) sessions start on July 7, the real work starts.Small groups of 20 to 25 students will participate in these workshops, which will take place either before or after school hours. If necessary, schools can use monies from the School Management Committee (SMC) to hire qualified resource people.
Worksheets, activity sheets, and practice questions that are in line with the core syllabus will be sent to schools three times a week as digital learning resources to keep things relevant and interesting. The DoE will take things a step further for kids in Class 10. A thorough performance review will be conducted following the midterm tests in order to identify and address any specific learning gaps. Each zone will establish a Zonal Mission Mathematics Committee to make sure everything goes as planned.

The program will be run by the Zonal Mission Mathematics Committee, which is headed by the Deputy Director of Education and consists of principals and math teachers with training. Through workshops and contests, SCERT's teacher training program will prioritize experiential learning and cutting-edge resources. To ensure successful adoption, a central digital system for tracking student attendance and progress is being established.
