DoE tells Delhi pvt schools to start happiness classes

NEW DELHI: The private schools in the city have been directed to introduce Happiness Curriculum.
With mindfulness being a major part of the curriculum, the directorate of education (DoE) has said if any school management wants, teachers could be provided training through State Council of Educational Research and Training.
Happiness Curriculum has been running in Delhi government schools since 2018.
“Happiness Curriculum with focus on mindfulness has been effective in Delhi government schools since 2018.
Following Delhi HC directions, private recognised schools have now been directed to introduce #Happiness Curriculum,” DoE tweeted.
The order follows a petition filed in Delhi High Court for directing the Centre to provide online mindfulness classes with meditation/yoga relaxation for all government and private school students to release stress, anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses amid Covid-19.
The court disposed it of with a direction to the education ministry to take a decision by treating the petition as a presentation.
The ministry then constituted a committee that recommended development of “mini models on breathing exercises, mindfulness, meditation and simple yoga asanas” for holistic well-being of students, stated the DoE circular.
It also suggested sharing of these models with schools for interspersing them with other lessons during online classes and also making them available on social media for students to see and practise them at any other time.
“All private schools are advised to take appropriate action as per above recommendations,” the circular added.
