Jharkhand education minister Neera Yadav spread cheer in the state assembly on Tuesday when she shared that "Smart Classes" are being introduced in government schools in a phased manner.
In the first phase of the roll out, "Smart Class" (teaching through modern communication) was introduced in 203 Kasturba Gandhi Residential Girls Schools. There are plans to introduce the same subsequently in other schools in a phased manner, she said in a written reply.
Yadav was replying to ruling BJP MLA Biranchi Narayan's short notice question what are the government plans to bring a parity in the standard of education between government and private schools.
Replying to his supplementary query, the minister appealed all MLAs to adopt one government school each as this will help expedite the roll out of smart classrooms across the state. She added that the standard of education in government schools needed to cover miles before it could yield highly productive returns. However, the standards have shown a marked improvement under the leadership of chief minister Raghubar Das.
