Schools
The DTEA runs seven senior secondary schools at Mandir Marg, Lodi Estate, Lakshmibai Nagar, Moti Bagh, Karol Bagh, R.K. Puram and Janakpuri. The DTEA follows the policy of taking the education to the doors of the children by providing schools in convenient localities as far as possible. Another school at Mayur Vihar Phase III has been proposed to open recently.
The schools are aided minority institutions, owned and managed by the DTEA at Lodi Estate and are all registered under the Societies Registration Act. The schools, though meant primarily for Tamils, also accept other residents of Delhi.
The schools are affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education and are recognized by the Directorate of Education, Government. of N.C.T. of Delhi. Four languages, English, Tamil, Hindi, and Sanskrit, are taught in all seven schools.
The DDA has allotted 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land at Mayur Vihar Phase III for opening the DTEA's eighth senior secondary school.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“In schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
“The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion—these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (b. 1915)
