Science And Commerce Stream
Concernerd over uneven distribution of science and commerce streams in government schools across the national capital, the Delhi High Court on Friday sought the responses from the AAP government and the Centre.
While the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) pointed out that the distribution of schools offering science and commerce streams is alarmingly uneven, a division bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal asked the Centre, Delhi Lt. Governor Anil Baijal, the state government and the Central Board of Secondary Education to file their response by November 28.
About the PIL:
The petition, filed by Advocate Yusuf Naqi, pointed that out of a total of 1,029 schools in the national capital, only 279 offered science stream to class 11 and 12 students, while commerce was offered in 613 schools.
The bench has issued notice to the CBSE.
The bench has also asked CBSE to file affidavits on the matter.
