In a bid to achieve its ‘zero fail mission’ in matriculation examination, the School and Mass Education Department is likely to direct school teachers to take classes for students poor in studies during the coming summer vacation.
School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash told reporters on Thursday that the Government is taking requisite measures to provide quality education to students. Schools would deploy teachers on rotational basis to take classes for students, who are weak in studies, during summer holidays that would begin from May and continue till mid-June.
Besides, he said, it has been decided that teachers of High Schools would undergo special training. Schools in 29 districts are organising ‘Utkarsh’ programme for Class-IX students.
The Minister said e-Contents are provided to students with the help from ICT@School scheme. Additional classrooms, science labs, computer labs and library have been provided in schools to attract children towards studies.
He also said science and book exhibitions are being held for school students to increase their creativity. Science and math kits have been provided to High School students to increase their knowledge about science and its application.
He further informed that retired teachers have been appointed to take classes in schools, which are facing shortages of teachers.
