In response to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's call, the Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC) has decided to launch a digital learning platform for students of class 1 to 5. It will be available on Doordarshan (DD) Bihar from June 1, 2020.
BEPC had already started the teaching sessions on DD Bihar for classes 6 to 12 in a phase manner since April 20, 2020. This was done to help the students to carry on their learning which was suspended due to COVID-19 outbreak.
Following the same, CM had asked BEPC to expand the e-content for students of class 1 to 5 also. BEPC in partnership with UNICEF prepared the content through television classrooms.
BEPC state programme officer, Kiran Kumari said, "With addition of lower primary section, the council is set to deliver lessons for all the classes. We have booked an additional two-hour slot of DD Bihar for lower primary classes.”
As stated by Kiran Kumari, the lessons for students of class 6 to 12 will continue in the existing routine in the month of June. Whereas for classes 1 to 5, DD Bihar will telecast the lessons from 3 pm to 5 pm everyday.
In total 24 classes for upper primary, 39 classes for secondary and 26 classes for senior secondary have been conducted till May 29, 2020.
UNICEF Education Specialist Pramila Manoharan also said, "We have designed content for primary students based on the syllabus prescribed by the education department.The e-content designed will contain fundamental language, mathematics and social science integrated in the form of stories and songs for their fun learning.”
