Punjab Launches Online Portal for Play-Way Schools
The Punjab government has started a new online system for play-way schools.
These are schools for very young children.
The government is also making a special plan for teaching kids below six years old.
This plan will be used in play-way schools, Anganwadi centers, and primary schools.
The minister said that teaching will be fun and not too hard for the kids.
They are also building new Anganwadi centers with nice rooms and kitchens.
Parents are being involved in their children's learning through special groups and activities sent to their phones.
Punjab launched an online registration portal for play-way schools and private schools teaching children below six years.
A uniform curriculum for children below six years is being prepared for implementation across Anganwadi centers, play-way schools, and primary schools.
Training for Anganwadi workers and supervisors will be completed by mid-February, focusing on play-based and creative activities.
Under mission ‘Aarambh’, 2,941 parent groups have been formed to strengthen parental participation in children’s cognitive development.
1,000 new Anganwadi centers are being constructed at a cost of Rs 100 crore, with 700 already completed and the remaining 300 to be finished soon.
