The government school students of classes 10th and 12th have recently received tablets under the ambitious "e-Adhigam" scheme launched by the Haryana government. The state government has planned to provide the gadget to five lakh students.
As per reports, the Class 11 students of Haryana government schools will get the tablets after they clear the Class 10 board exams and qualify for the succeeding year. These devices come with pre-loaded content along with personalised and adaptive learning software, and 2GB of free data.
"Tablets and data are tools for students which will help them acquire skills of the 21st century and open new opportunities. Through e-learning, students of Haryana will become global students," he said, as reported by PTI.
During C-19, Khattar said, many families struggled to upgrade their children to online education and that the initiative was an effort to address this concern.
Education is the most powerful weapon one can use to change the world, Khattar said, quoting Nelson Mandela.
Further, Manohar Lal Khattar said that the tablet is the new classroom and "through e-books, it has become a full-fledged classroom."
While stressing on the role of digitisation during the Covid-19 pandemic, he said, "We have seen in many countries' youngsters developing apps which find multiple uses in our daily lives and our youths too have proved their mettle."
