NCERT Alternative Academic Calendar for Students Primary - Summary
In the current Covid-19 situation, recognized as a global pandemic, it is essential for our teachers, parents, and students to stay at home to help stop the virus from spreading in the community. During this challenging time, we have a responsibility to provide various alternative ways of learning at home through fun and engaging activities. This is important not only to keep our children actively engaged but also to ensure the continuity of their education in their new classes. In this context, the NCERT has created an Alternative Academic Calendar for primary students, which is a valuable resource to guide learning.
Overview of the NCERT Alternative Academic Calendar
The NCERT Alternative Academic Calendar is designed for primary students and includes themes and topics selected from the syllabus, all linked with specific learning outcomes. There are guidelines provided to help conduct enjoyable activities based on these learning objectives, ensuring that students can learn effectively at home.
Accessing the Calendar
Many teachers and parents may only have basic mobile phones at their homes, and not all students have access to virtual classrooms. Understanding this, the activities in the calendar are designed so that parents and students can easily carry them out on their own, often after discussing them with teachers over the phone. Teachers can reach out to parents and students through a variety of communication tools, from simple mobile phones to internet-based platforms. This allows them to provide the necessary support and guidance for the activities listed in the calendar.
This calendar is intended to be flexible and suggestive. Teachers can adapt it to meet the unique needs and contexts of their respective State or Union Territory. The development of this calendar involved dedicated faculty members from all units of NCERT, including NIE, CIET, PSSCIVE, and all five RIEs. They actively used online platforms like WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, Zoom, and more for discussions and feedback, showcasing their hard work and commitment to education.
