According to the Directorate of Education (DoE), the Delhi government schools have introduced a Student Advisory Board (SAB) in its schools to augment student participation in various leadership roles. This Student Advisory Board will work as the voice of the students and will contribute towards the development of a sense of ownership among the students, by designing, managing and executing various school activities.
The programme has been initiated in 20 shortlisted schools and two students per section from grades 7, 8, 9, and 11 will be selected as members of the SAB.
“Two general secretaries will lead the SAB from class 11 whom the SAB members of classes 7, 8, 9 and 11 will choose. To be eligible to become the general secretary, the student must be a member of the SAB,” the DoE circular stated.
