PNS

With the aim to enhance educational skills, the Basic Education department of Uttar Pradesh is providing graded reading books to more than 1.5 crore students studying in primary schools.

According to officials, the graded reading books will increase the students’ ability to read and learn.

“The language of this book has been kept very simple and it will enable children to learn easily,” a senior official of the department said.

Apart from this, report cards of the students studying in primary and upper primary schools of the state will be shared with their parents.

The teacher will also share the students’ information during the formal meetings with the parents in the school.

The Basic Education department had recently conducted the Supportive Aptitude Test (SAT) to enhance education skills in the students. In this, students were given grades from A to E.  Special remedial classes would be held for the students who get D and E grades, the official said.

He further said that in order to provide better education to the students of the state-run schools, the state government was constantly making changes in the education system.

“On the direction of the government, the Basic Education department has introduced a system of real-time monitoring to check the progress of the students studying in primary and upper primary schools. This will identify the average students and separate classes will be conducted for them so that they can also achieve top positions in schools like other students,” the official said.
