The director of education, Rajasthan, Sourabh Swami recently told regional Daily Bhaskar about the challenges and plans to deal with low attendance in online classes. He told the newspaper that this year certain guidelines have been made for real-time assessment.
The teachers will have to submit their feedback regarding the presence of students on the Shala Datran Portal. He also informed that an online WhatsApp quiz will also be conducted for students.
Talking about the primary students, Swami stated that they will be connected through “Aao Ghar Se Sikhein” initiative under which kids will be given homework. Parents too will have to monitor their kids at home.
Further, he informed that this year two internal assessment and a mid-term exam will be conducted for class 10 and 12 students. The first internal assessment will be held in August and the second in October while the mid-term will be held in December.
