Issuing directives to all basic education officers, director general of school education (DGSE) Monika Rani said that under LEP, students of classes VI-VIII will undergo systematic assessment to identify learning gaps at the beginning and end of the intervention cycle. “Teachers will use these resources to improve grammar, communication and language skills through structured classroom activities,” she said. Teachers, said Rani, will also maintain diaries and prepare focused lesson plans for students requiring additional support.
Rani stated that students will be supported through the ELTI grammar book and digital learning videos developed by ELTI, Prayagraj. The programme also focusses on teacher capacity-building. Rani asked officials to hold cluster-level meetings to enable teachers to share best practices, discuss learning challenges and develop innovative teaching-learning materials. Download the TOI App.
Upcoming Educational Programs to Enhance Student Performance
Schools will implement two new initiatives to bolster student engagement and learning outcomes: the ‘science circle’ and the ‘math circle.’ The science circle will promote scientific inquiry through hands-on experiments, model creation, observational activities, and group discussions. Meanwhile, the math circle aims to alleviate mathematics anxiety and enhance understanding via activity-based learning, including puzzles, games, problem-solving tasks, and practical demonstrations.
Following the implementation of these programs, remedial classes will be offered to help students meet grade-level competencies in mathematics, science, and language arts.
Additionally, schools will enhance their libraries and reading corners by stocking them with age-appropriate literature. Regular reading sessions, book discussions, and independent reading activities will be organized to improve students’ comprehension, vocabulary, and overall literacy skills.
