The Delhi Education Department constituted the Academic Task Group (ATG) under its Examination Branch to monitor academic targets across government schools at headquarters, district, and zonal levels. The group aims to strengthen academic progress monitoring and develop strategies to improve student learning outcomes.
Selected personnel are posted at the headquarters on a diverted capacity for an initial period of six months, lasting up to March 2027. During this assignment, they are treated as non-vocational staff, and their attendance is marked as 'on duty' by their respective parent schools.
To prevent deployments from disrupting classroom instruction, the department has provided for additional posts against the teachers assigned to the ATG in their parent schools. As an interim arrangement, school heads can approach district authorities to depute guest or contractual teachers in the same subject.
