Give attention to underperforming blocks: Edu minister
Trichy: School education minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi held a review meeting with district education officials on Wednesday related to the state level achievement survey (SLAS), a sample survey done by the state planning commission, SCERT, directorates of school education and elementary education this year for measuring learning outcomes of students and identify areas of improvement for students of classes 3, 5 and 8 in govt and aided schools. Trichy district ranked sixth overall in the state-level survey. Headmasters and block education officers from five blocks - Trichy Urban, Andhanallur, Thiruverumbur, Pullambadi, and Manikandam - that recorded the lowest performance in the district participated in the meeting. Although an overall district action plan had been submitted at the end of last month, sources said the minister called for increased attention to the underperforming blocks. The minister also said that he will be meeting and motivating the heads of schools and education officials from these lesser performing blocks. "We will be preparing block-specific action plans over the next two to three weeks," a source said. Despite these variations, sources noted that Trichy performed better than the state average in all subjects across the three assessed classes. The district action plan, based on findings from the survey, highlighted areas needing improvement, such as English reading skills and confusion among students regarding statistical concepts like mean, median, and mode in mathematics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Important Facts About Dog Behaviour Undo "Phonetic training by DIET to 350 teachers to make it easy for them to train the students to read English easily is a targeted intervention mentioned in the action plan to address gaps of students not able to read properly," a source said.
