Computer-enabled
education and development of basic skills for students in all
Primary & Middle schools in year 2000 through 7500 Jan Siksha
Kendras under the project “Headstart”. |
| |
|
| Headstart |
| |
|
Headstart
seeks to correct the growing trend that computer education is
only about learning basic operations and replaces it with the
perspective of computer enabled education. It begins
computer-enabled education from below and tries to reverse a
trend that sees computer education as starting from the top –
colleges downward. Thereby it seeks to quickly close information
gaps for the children in the most disadvantaged situations –
like the EGS schools in the state. |
| |
| Headstart
works through the Jan Shiksha Kendras or cluster resource
centers that are located in middle school premises in 48
districts. Every JSK in the state is to be equipped with
computer hardware and multimedia software, repositioning the JSK
as a media unit capable of providing computer aided education
for the children of the middle school in which the JSK is
located and familiarisation to computers of all children in
primary schools through simple demos and games to excite their
imagination. Among primary schools, EGS school children will be
given preference. For being able to manage this teachers with a
math or science background preferably, will be trained across
the state through the decentralised training capabilities of the
Bhoj Open University. |
| |
| Headstart
will be operated by funds available with the Rajiv Gandhi
mission for strengthening JKS. Through Headstart the JSKs get
repositioned to become centers for life long learning by the
communities when at a subsequent stage the computer facility
installed in the library of the JSK is handed over to the
community.
