Coimbatore: With the state gearing up for Class X board exams from June 1, the school education department in the district is all set to offer online revision classes for government school students from Friday.
Coimbatore chief education officer P Usha told TOI that they had been working on a website for the same for around 15 days now.
She said government school teachers and students would be asked to register on the website. “While teachers were instructed to hold revisions with the help of social media apps, we have been working on the portal to engage students in a more organized way.”
The officer said they had roped in professionals to design and launch the website, which is titled Cbe Schools. “We have trained two teachers on how to register on the website and they have trained a teacher each from 20 government schools in the district. The latter would in turn train other teachers in their schools,” Usha said.
At least 40 students could attend an online session at a time and there can be multiple sessions, the officer said. “It will be like a virtual classroom session. Students could also interact and clarify doubts. There are provisions to ensure that one won’t be disturbed by others. Each school could hold sessions separately.”
A total of 6,000 students could be registered on the portal, the officer said. “Of the more than 150 government schools in the district, we have chosen just 20 schools for now. We will include others soon.”
Usha said they were planning to start sessions for government schools on a trial basis on Friday. “We are also looking to extend the facility to aided schools.”
If students don’t have computer and internet facilities at home, they could login on their smart phones. “If they don’t have own phones, they would be asked to arrange one from relatives or neighbours for an hour to attend the sessions. If a student has none of these facilities, we have asked teachers to instruct them on important portions and other exam preparations,” the chief education officer said.
