Description

The recent initiative taken by the GB government to introduce STEM subjects right from the school level is highly commendable. This initiative is quite unique and far sighted. Instead of the traditional recruitment of teachers the government is engaging a private sector provider (PSP) through an open competitive process for imparting digital learning at 34 selected schools to begin with. The PSP would post a resource person in each school to establish complete e-learning environment in schools including servers, routers, power back ups, etc. They would use the Learning Management system (LMS) to deliver the content, set up centralized data centres, connect with Cloud, set up Dash boards for monitoring. The PSP would train the teachers, and EMIS staff of Education Department, operate and maintain the hardware, software, LMS, content and data connectivity. 144 computer labs and libraries are proposed to be set up in Government schools However, this requires SCO to be more proactive and ensure internet stability and optic fibre connectivity to schools.
