The school management committees (SMCs) in the national capital will now be known as Vidyalaya Kalyan Samitis with the Delhi Cabinet approving the renaming on Tuesday.
The cabinet also decided that the funds will not be allocated as per the school building's size but on the basis of enrolment of students.
"The fund requirement for this revamped scheme will be met from the budget head SMC Fund and an amount of Rs 56 crore has been proposed for the current financial year," an official statement said.
The cabinet also approved the Directorate of Education (DoE)'s proposal for revision in remuneration of miscellaneous category of guest teachers.
The department had proposed that the daily remuneration for miscellaneous category guest teachers may be brought at par with trained graduate teachers (with CTET qualification) and enhanced from Rs 1,050 to Rs 1,403 per day.
