KVs plot new learning curve with video games, hackathons

Tablets for e-lessons and assignments, video and programming games to foster creativity , activity-based learning to connect knowledge with life and collaboration with Council of Scientific and Industrial Research laboratories -the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) is set to roll out its biggest reforms that aim to change the way learning is organised in these Centrefunded schools.
With the `Back to Basics' initiative, as it is being called, the 1,200 Kendriya Vidyalayas are attempting to move beyond textbooks and encourage originality among its 12 lakh students.

The reforms are being rolled out in the current year, with KVS also putting in place a 1,000-point system of annual targets to assess its schools. The heads of schools have been given greater autonomy to devise an annual plan, on which the school will be rated. A senior HRD ministry official said the initiative was pushed by the PM, who has taken personal interest in improvement of KV schools.After revamp, students will get access to popular computer games such as Minecraft and Kadu game lab, a visual programming tool, to improve their creative quotient.  Hackathons are also planned for classes XI and XII.

What triggered the reforms, officials said, was a “troubling“ focus on academic scores as the sole assessment criterion.

KVs' Class XII pass percentages in the past five years have been more than 95%. “The reforms aim at achieving learning outcomes set by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) right from Class I,“ said U N Khaware, additional commissioner (academics), KVS.

However, schools will not be penalised. Multiple inspections and an audit in March will analyse performance “to understand the reasons which lead to success or failure,“ said Khaware.

  2. A group called Satta king is an established one which has experienced satta players and they prefer to offer guidance to other people creating formula numbers and deviating people for trusting them. Most of the time Black Satta King is not trustworthy as they create false attractions and prevent the players from actually winning the game. Many of them have created online sources promising the upcoming satta players to follow certain tricks. Rarely some of them are reliable and one should also take guidance from experienced trustworthy sources whom they know before taking decision for the game.

  4. If we talk about the gameplay of the black satta king online game. Well, once a player has finished betting and placing money on their favorable winning satta number. Now, all they have to do is to simply wait for the winning satta number to be announced by an authentic and legitimate satta organizing authority. Like the Satta king Results website where all the satta king players would certainly get online to see an overview of the number, they have priorly selected.

  6. Nice Post...
    Which is the best office set up according to you?
    There are numerous office setups available in the market like WPS office, Libre, Microsoft office.com to name a few. But in my opinion, the popularity and feasibility of Microsoft office in comparison to others are remarkable. It offers a complete package of products and services that are required in an enterprise and their products are way easy to use. The only thing is its cost. It costs comparatively more than the other available options but then its features take full control and the cost seems nothing in front. Its latest version Office 2019 is getting popular day by day but on the other hand Office 365, a cloud-based version is still holding the command over others.
