One teacher to mentor 15 students and to meet with parents once a fortnight
The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has devised an ambitious plan for students who do not have access to either gadgets or internet connectivity and cannot attend online classes, one that will involve both parents and teachers. The goal is to ensure that children who are at a disadvantage are mentored constantly by their teachers. Parents will have to meet with their children’s teachers at least once every fortnight to discuss learning outcomes. A survey conducted towards the end of the 2020-21 academic year revealed that over 31 lakh students in Karnataka from classes one to 10 in private and public schools did not have access to gadgets needed for online learning.More Related News
