Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu confirmed that the state government is dedicated to combining digital classes with traditional in-person teaching in schools. The goal of this project is to update the education system, improve learning experiences, and provide students with access to both traditional and digital educational materials.
The government intends to utilize advanced technology and smart classrooms to offer a more inclusive and easily accessible education to all students in Assam. He mentioned that the Education Department will use the digital attendance system to decrease school dropout rates.
The schools in Assam re-opened on Thursday after the summer vacation that lasted for a month. Pegu interacted virtually with the teachers of at least 7,779 schools. He said, "As the academic session for this year resumed after a gap of one month, I addressed the teachers through virtual mode. I wish them good luck for the upcoming days."
The Education Department has been striving to enhance digital education in schools, as stated by the minister.
"We have decided to give thrust on imparting teaching through digital mode. The majority of schools in Assam are equipped with smart classrooms along with seamless internet connectivity," he added.
