'Chunauti 2016' to improve basic reading, comprehension levels of students: Sisodia

New Delhi, Sep 3 (UNI) Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today said the Delhi government is going to embark on an ambitious scheme for the students of government schools called "Chunauti 2016," under which the non-reading students of classes sixth, seventh and eighth will be brought to the basic reading level and make them "Performing average students".
Addressing mediapersons at the Delhi Secretariat here, he said ''In a study, it was found that 74 per cent students of class ninth could not read and comprehend their own curriculum books and 46 per cent students of class sixth found it difficult to read the basic second class Hindi books. No solution or concrete plan was in sight to tackle the deficiency, but then after much deliberations, ''Chanauti 2016'' was devised on the lines of "Chunauti 2018," in which students flunking in classes ninth and tenth were targeted.''
Flaying the education system and students' learning capabilities, he said, ''Let's accept the reality. Our students stand nowhere vis-a-vis international standards. Despite quality education imparted to them, they are not able to absorb it and hence, do not pass out with flying colours.''
