"This amount of time is consumed because most of the work is done manually. But not anymore," said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who is also Delhi's education minister.
He added that after introducing online leave and no-objection certificate facilities for teachers, the government is going to digitise the process of recording the exam data as well.
Last month, Sisodia had asked his team to understand the exam process by talking to teachers and get their inputs on how it can be simplified, so that they do not have to spend a large amount of time on result tabulation.
The findings were presented to him today. He directed the officials of the Directorate of Education to digitise the entire process so that all steps after the evaluation of answer scripts till the generation of report card can be done on the computer tablet.
"The usage of computer tablet will remove the manual recording of data in multiple sheets. This will substantially reduce the time of subject and class teachers which they can now give to their students and family," a senior DoE official said.
Sisodia also directed that platforms be created and orders be issued for its usage immediately to ensure most features could be implemented from the mid-term exam this year.
Early this year, all teachers of Delhi government schools regular as well as guest have procured a tablet of their choice, using the fund of Rs 15,000 provided to each one of them by the government.
Apart from them, teachers are also given an additional allowance of Rs 200 per month for data pack. They are using this tablet to record attendance and store study material for their lesson planning and classroom teaching.
