Tripura government launches education channel for school students

The state CM said that the government will ensure that students do not miss out on their lessons for an extended period of time.

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb launched a 24x7 education channel to provide lessons to state school students. The lessons will be in line with the NCERT syllabus and help them 'make up for the lost learning time' amid the COVID19 pandemic.

Tripura board follows the same syllabus as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

Speaking on the launch event, Deb said that this is the first such initiative by his government to ensure that students do not miss out on their lessons for an extended period of time.

"We attach maximum importance to education and have taken multiple steps to provide quality education to the students. The channel was introduced to engage the students in the process of learning, notwithstanding the restrictions that came with the pandemic," he said.

State Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said his department launched an innovative scheme ‘Notun Disha’ (new direction) which is aimed at assessing and boosting the academic prowess of elementary school students. The pandemic has brought everything to a halt. Only recorded programmes would be shown on the newly launched channel this month, and live sessions would begin in June, involving students of around 4,500 schools.
