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:
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
“Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“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)
