Education Ministry urges max use of digital technology for teaching-learning activities

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has urged the local level and education and coordination units to make the teaching-learning activities through a digital medium more qualitative and effective.

In the context of the unavailability of textbooks in time and the increasing use of digital mediums for learning and teaching activities, the production, transmission and distribution of audio-visual materials for the activities continues, said the Ministry.

The Ministry’s Spokesperson Dipak Sharma in a statement today urged the concerned authorities to make learning and teaching activities quality and effective through the maximum use of digital materials prepared based on the grades 1 to 12 curricula.

So far, the ICT laboratories have been established in 6,869 schools across the country for this purpose, and the production and distribution of audio and visual educational materials and the establishment of e-libraries were being promoted, he said.
