Divya Delhi :The HC had made the observation while hearing a matter that flagged issues of infrastructure and lack of facilities, like furniture and books, in these schools.Options like building a second floor with a "light-gauge steel-framed structure" may be taken into consideration in schools that are space-constrained, after consulting with PWD.The conference minutes state that if there is a lack of classrooms, rooms designated for "sports/NCC/NSS/admission/etc." must be cleared out to make place for classes. "Clubbing" more than one class in a room is not a solution to the space crisis. Additionally, officials have been told to employ "surplus infrastructure in adjoining MCD schools" and search for unoccupied property.Due to a shortage of space, a PIL in the HC in 2022 brought up the problem of irregular courses in government schools in Northeast Delhi. In response to the issue last year, the DoE stated that certain schools have classrooms with more than 100 students.."In its April ruling, the HC mandated that the Secretary of Education submit a thorough affidavit and stated that the official "must also fix responsibility on officials remiss in performing their duties
