Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has lauded the unique initiative of the State Government to launch “Har Ghar Pathshala” campaign to continue the studies of the students during the Covid-19 pandemic period.
The Governor held a meeting with the senior officers of the Education Department at Raj Bhavan today. Secretary, Education Rajiv Sharma, Director, Higher Education Dr. Amarjeet Sharma, Director Primary Education Pankaj Lalit and Project Director Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Virender Sharma attended the meeting.
Shri Arlekar said that it was a matter of pride for Himachal Pradesh that it was far ahead in various indicators of education in the country. He stressed that everyone should have the right to quality education and added that in view of global competition, learning English was important but learning in English should not be necessary and we should pay more attention to our regional languages. Such a direction should be given in Himachal as the education in regional language was also a part of National Education Policy ( NEP), he added.
The Governor said that keeping in mind the NEP, there was a need to move forward in the education sector. He also stressed on the need to have separate arrangements for special children and to further enhance the efforts of trained teachers. He appreciated that the State had almost achieved the target of first vaccination dose for the teachers. He also lauded the efforts of the department that online classes were being conducted regularly.
Rajiv Sharma apprised the Governor about the various activities of the department and achievements in the education sector. He said that written material was being made available to students in remote areas of the state where there was network problem or they come in shadow areas. He said that emphasis was also being laid on evaluation of students.
