New digital technologies have changed the face of modern education in today’s time. The introduction of LEDs, projectors, 3D animations, PPTs, audio/video clips and models have made it easier for teachers to deliver hard concepts inside the smart class. As for students, they’ve started taking interest in studies, as it is easier to grasp and remember complex theories when they’re presented in the form of animations, presentations and video clips.
Realizing the importance of smart classrooms in imparting quality education and enhancing knowledge, Rajasthan education department has started a mass campaign for smart classes in government schools.
Rajasthan education minister Vasudev Devnani believes that Rajasthan has shown massive improvement in education sector by implementing innovative ideas to bring more students from backward and economically weaker sections to the mainstream. The massive success of Rajasthan government schools is evident from the ACER survey results of 2016.
Overwhelmed with the massive response of students enrolled in Rajasthan government schools, the government aims to boost infrastructure and provide quality resources in government schools for the upcoming academic session. Devnani claims that the government aims to establish Adarsh School in every urban area by next year.
Rajasthan Government Inaugurates Smart Classes in Ajmer
Arjun Lal Meghwal, Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs inaugurated the ambitious smart class project for 30 new government schools in Ajmer. The schools selected for this mission will be furnished with webcam, projectors, video conferencing facilities and other advanced technologies.
Besides launching the smart class project, the government will distribute bicycles to girl students of higher classes. They’ll hand over laptops to 27,900 students of government school students. The idea is to make them familiar with advanced digital technologies.
Post-demonetization, the government has decided to turn to digitalization and Rajasthan is a pioneer in this field. Lately, the government has announced to add a chapter on cashless economy in the syllabus of Economics for Classes XI and XII.
Laying out the plans of government during a function organised at Moinia Islamia School, Meghwal said that state will be successful in its endeavours only when the schools furnish moral as well as value-based education. It’s essential to teach students to differentiate between the rights and wrongs in life. He stressed on the importance of hard work and encouraged the students to show dedication towards their education.
MP Sanwar Lal Jat claimed that with this technological advancement, Ajmer is soon going to emerge as the new education hub of Rajasthan.
