SARAL LAUNCHED - Info on schools, teachers and students to be online soon

Information related to students, teachers and schools will be a click away , from this academic year.The information will soon be available on a website hosted by the National Informatics Centre.

A government resolution issued by the state education department said, “There are a range of schemes and activities which are organized by the state which require schools to collect and submit a lot of information. This information is currently in hardcopy and hence teachers, principals and centre heads spend a lot of time. A lot of stationery and man-hours too are wasted.“

Hence, the state has set up Systematic Administrative Reforms for Achieving Learning by Students (SARAL), which will host information related to recognized schools, teaching and nonteaching staff, and students.Institutions, schools, staff and students can register details through independent logins.“Administrative work should reduce by using technology so that maximum time of education officials can be used to visit schools, converse with teachers and work on improving the quality of education,“ said Sunil Magar, joint director of education.

The student database will help teachers and parents concentrate on learning levels. The online database will also be used to arrest the dropout rate among students.
