A statement issued by NCERT on official website that in this period of COVID-19, which is declared as a global pandemic, our teachers, parents, and students have to remain at homes to prevent its spread in the community. In this situation, it is our responsibility to provide them with multiple alternative ways of learning at home through interesting activities. It is necessary because in the present environment of stress we have to not only keep our children busy but also to maintain continuity of their learning in their new classes. In this context, NCERT has developed an Alternative Academic Calendar for all the stages of school education.
The calendar also comes with a list of suggested resources like references to textbooks, chapters, themes, e-resources etc. Students and parents can visit the official website of NCERT so as to check and download the alternative academic calendar.
Initially this alternative academic calendar has been made only for four weeks. It can be extended further. In this calendar, taking lessons from the class syllabus and connecting them with the successes of learning, you can think through the activities.
Guidelines for learning are given. It has been taken into account that the teacher is not in the class and all his students do not have the same class facility, so these activities are given by the candidates in the guidelines of teachers.
Will be made. Alternatives will interact with students and students using various technical tools, including mobile phone-based Internet access, and based on this calendar, guide participants to various activities.
