The Government of Tripura would be providing workbooks for students from classes 1 to 12 free of cost for the convenience of students to help them study from homes.
This was stated by the Minister of Education, Ratan Lal Nath. Nath said, “Workbooks of a total of 85 subjects, prepared by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) were launched. This is the first of its kind in the state. Even if there is again a rise in Covid-19 cases, they could prepare at home with these workbooks. The books will be distributed soon and all the students will get these books from the next academic year.”
It may be recalled that the schools in Tripura were opened last month. The classes from pre-primary to higher secondary were started on January 31, 2022. The minister stated that the closure of schools has impacted the academics and mental health of students.
After the Covid-19 outbreak, the education sector was badly impacted and students had to face loss of study. To curb this loss the government launched a 10-minute news bulletin which was broadcast twice a week last month which benefited students, teachers, and parents.
Also, to reduce the education loss of students the Tripura government introduced learning by online mode, neighbourhood classes, SMS, and social media-based lessons.
