Odisha to bring E-Learning, Mentorship Programme for ST/SC Students

The Odisha government is going to introduce an alternative learning and mentorship programme for tribal students. It has been estimated that about six lakh students belonging to the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribe communities will be benefited from the initiative.

 

Ranjana Chopra, ST/SC Development, Minorities and Backward Classes Welfare Department secretary says, "The programme will be launched from Monday to cater to the educational needs of these students from Class 2 to Class 10 in 1,731 residential schools across the state.”

 

For students, who have access to the internet, Whatsapp groups have been formed through which e-content will be provided to them. "The e-content that maps to the curriculum of students of Class 2 to Class 10 has been created. This will be provided to the end-users registered in various Whatsapp groups at the school level," she said.

 

For students, who do not have access to the internet and smartphones, the "mentor teachers" will reach out to them. "A total of 4,467 mentor teachers have been mapped with 21,239 tribal villages.

 

It is expected that this whole exercise will keep the ST and SC students, residing in remote villages, connected to the learning process and also provide them skill support. The teachers will create an enabling environment in the villages and mentor these students.
