Directorate of Education, Delhi-Process Re-engineering

Government schools have been witnessing a lot of problems in managing

admissions on time-there are more dropouts, and there is diminishing attraction

amongst parents and students to join them. As a result, the Directorate of

Education decided to introduce CAL (Computer-Aided Learning) and MIS to

disseminate education amongst 1000 schools, 9.5 lakh students, and a staff of

about 40,000 teachers and administrators.

A Web-based MIS system that captures workflow and processes of all

departments (like HRM, finance, infrastructure management) and reengineers them

to suit the demands of modern and efficient work procedure, has been implemented

in the DoE, Delhi.

The multimedia lessons that have been developed as a part of CAL and MIStoonZ

take less time than that taken by the 'chalk and talk' method in the

explanation, thus, leaving teachers and students with more time to practice.

It has brought best practices into practice as the lessons comprise of

collective wisdom. It also enables online student feedback, online inspections

of schools, online teacher-wise assessment of classroom teaching, and the online

attendance to check truancy.
