Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has announced a project focused on improving general education through active public participation.

The decision was made during a high-level meeting held here on Tuesday, during which he emphasised the crucial role that teachers play in elevating the education sector and shaping public consciousness. He also stressed on the importance of collaboration among educational organisations to ensure the success of endeavours.

The meeting resolved to impart training to enhance the teaching skills and methodologies of teachers. Each school will undergo a thorough assessment to develop improvement plans. Ensuring that all children attain essential reading and writing skills will be a top priority.

Mentoring programmes will also be rolled out, ensuring that teachers provide personalised support to every student. Schools will also be instructed to strengthen monitoring mechanisms. Concerns regarding in-person learning not being devoted adequate time will also be looked into.

The meeting also decided to enforce in a time-bound manner the government’s policy to appoint dedicated English teachers to teach English. Moreover, common standards will be established for pre-primary education.

Assistant educational officers and district education officers have been instructed to ensure greater focus on academic activities.
