Academic guidelines for school reopening issued
The Hindu
Focus on identifying and addressing learning gaps
Recreational activities for students and an analysis of learning outcomes of digital classes provided to students in the past academic year and this year will be the focus of activities in schools the first two weeks after reopening on November 1.
Academic guidelines for school reopening after an extended closure owing to COVID-19 were released by Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty on Wednesday.
The guidelines lay stress on understanding each child’s abilities and academic levels before planning classroom activities.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
