Teachers must play a proactive role in nurturing new gen: CM
Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said basic education was the very foundation of nation building and teachers must play a proactive role in shaping the future of the country by nurturing the new generation properly. "A teacher's true respect lies in the success and values of the students they nurture. They must take their jobs seriously and make every moment count as time waits for no one," he said while laying the foundation stone for 43 CM Model Composite Schools and 66 CM Abyudaya Composite Schools. On the occasion, the CM also inaugurated smart classes in 7,409 schools, ICT labs in 5,258 schools, and distributed 51,667 tablets to teachers. He also launched digital libraries in 503 PM SHRI schools, and an educational broadcast studio at the State Educational Technical Institute. Launching the projects worth Rs 3300 crore, Yogi recalled that before 2017, schools under the Basic Education Council were plagued by dilapidated infrastructure, neglect and disorder, with low student enrolment and high dropout rates. But in the past eight years, the education scenario in the state has transformed drastically, he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40분 후, 영어가 다르게 보일 겁니다. 직접 확인해보세요 스티븐영어 지금 시작하기 Undo "The schools underwent a significant transformation only after we launched Operation Kayakalp. Under this, almost 97% of schools were saturated with basic infrastructure such as drinking water, toilets, boundaries, playgrounds, smart classes, and digital libraries, resulting in student enrolment crossing 800 to 1200 in several schools," he said. About the composite schools, he said these model schools, to be set up in each assembly constituency in the upcoming years, will cost Rs 25-30 crore each and will offer a complete educational experience from pre-primary to senior secondary within one campus. Equipped with science and computer labs, a stadium and a multipurpose hall, these schools will serve as a new model for education. Transferring Rs 1,200 per student to the bank accounts of their guardians via DBT for the purchase of uniforms, sweaters, school bags, shoes, socks, and stationery, Yogi said, "Parents and teachers should ensure the funds are spent solely on the children's needs and not for any other purpose." Directing officials to ensure the rational deployment of teachers to meet the pupil-teacher ratio in schools, the Chief Minister said, "Every school must have an adequate number of teachers to ensure quality education for every child." The Chief Minister also proposed engaging BEd and MEd students in the NIPUN spot assessment to gain hands-on learning and familiarize them with modern educational tools like smart classes and digital libraries. Further, Yogi asked officials to conduct summer camps properly. "These camps are a platform for the holistic development of children. Activities such as sports, music, dance, drama and yoga should be included in the camp," he said. The CM also instructed schools to begin preparations for International Yoga Day on June 21, ensuring the implementation of the yoga protocol prescribed by the Ministry of AYUSH. He encouraged promoting indoor activities that help alleviate stress among children. Aimed at enhancing children's talents, the Chief Minister announced plans to organise school-level sports and cultural competitions at the block, district, division and state levels in Nov-Dec. On accelerating the School Chalo Abhiyan, Chief Minister Yogi instructed teachers and principals to visit homes and enroll children aged 5-14 years in school. He said no child in any village should be left out of education. During the event, Yogi also took time to visit the exhibition set up by students at Lok Bhavan, engaging with them and learning more about their displays. Yogi later launched the Nipun Plus app for smart assessment of students from classes 3 to 12. He also released books-- 'Sarathi' and 'Anurupan'-- developed by SCERT and honoured five teachers who excelled in the Nipun assessment. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, basic education minister Sandeep Singh, chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, and additional chief secretary, basic education, Deepak Kumar attended the event.
