Many a times, the government school
teachers have cited the lack of resources as the reason behind the students
lagging behind their grade level. With Delhi government now seems to have heard
the demand of the teachers and decided to equip them all with tablet computers
and internet devices so that they can use online learning methods to help the
students.
The government plans to begin the
distribution of these tablets in the next couple of months. These devices would
also be used by the teachers to mark the attendance of the students. As soon as
the teacher marks a student present, a sms would be sent to the parents of that
particular child. The government is planning to over 50,000 teachers in this
program.
Atishi Marlena, who works as the advisor to
the state’s education minister Manish Sisodia, said, "Most teachers complain that
they cannot give more time for teaching as they are engaged in data entry or
management works like maintenance of attendance registers, preparation of
students' report cards, etc. In view of this, we have decided to give tablets
to the teachers of all government schools. Education and Information Technology
Department have been directed to work out the modalities of the project.”
She also said that once these tablets
arrive, the teachers won’t be required to enter the students’ marks in the
report cards, thus saving their time. Since the state has a separate education
budget, it can implement this program without awaiting a nod from the central
government.
