Timely supply of free text books coupled with the daily-feedback mechanism initiated by the School Education Department that requires teachers to update data pertaining to the content completion through watching Kalvi TV Channel in the Education Management Information System (EMIS) portal has apparently infused confidence among school heads that the entire portions could be covered this year even if the classroom sessions are disrupted by the pandemic. Having distributed copies of programme schedule of Kalvi Channel to the students, the teachers have been mandated with the task of obtaining daily feedback on the learning impact, and upload the same on the EMIS portal. The teachers had already uploaded in the portal details of students who have access to gadgets for online education and those who can afford to watch only television. ‘The new system of daily monitoring of academic progress looks promising. Since the students have the text books, it has become easy for us to give them daily assignments. Students are required to submit the assignments in their respective schools once a week,’ James, a teacher of a government-aided higher secondary school in Tiruchi said.
