Chennai, September 30 (IANS) Primary school teachers in Tamil Nadu will undergo a new phase of training from October 7 to 10, which is aimed at bridging the learning gaps in the initial grade under the state’s chief Enam Izutham (EE) initiative.
The sessions will be conducted by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) and the first large -scale teachers of the academic year will mark the apscarting exercise.
According to officials of the Senior Education Department, the training is targeted to teachers who have handled 1 to 5 classes, where students are divided into three levels based on current learning abilities.
The four-day program will help teachers to adapt the lesson for each group and deploy the “time on work” method. A structured way of reading, writing and ensuring maximum orbit for problems.
In addition to core teaching techniques, teachers will be directed to use new handbooks, assemble and analyze students and apply creative methods to make it easier to make the founder numerical and literacy concepts easier.
“This is only the first level of training for this year; there is a more round plan to strengthen the distribution of the classroom,” said an official.
Covid-19 launched after learning loss, it became clear, ‘Ennum Ezhuthum (EE)’ program initially covered class 1 to 3, but has since been extended to class 5.
The initiative supported by special workbooks and classified teaching materials aims to ensure that every child receives age-appropriate reading, writing and arithmetic skills.
Officials say the results have been encouraging. A source in the department of education said, “EE has shown constant improvement in foundational learning results, inspiring us to expand and introduce supplementary programs such as Theran Scheme.”
Earlier this year, the State Planning Commission’s State-Level Achievement Survey (Slas) found that the achievement level of Class 5 in Tamil Nadu and the achievement level of class 5 in Tamil, English, EVS and Mathematics improved both state and national average recorded in the 2021 National Achievement Survey (NAS).
The report attributed it to EE’s structured approach to a large extent. However, some teachers say the speed has slowed down as the meditation has moved into new initiatives from class 6 to 8.
A teacher from a government primary school said, “We welcome a return to a paper-based assessment and support the EE’s goals, but the implementation needs to remain and develop continuously with the realities of the classroom.”
With the introduction of the new training cycle, the Education Department hoped to reinforce the program and maintain the recovery of Tamil Nadu’s early learning on the track.
