Awareness lacking on educational programs on TV/Radio TECH BASED DISTANCE EDUCATION

A study was conducted by the Muttha Foundation in Nov 2020 across Maharashtra to understand the roll-out of the tech-based distance education across the state during the school closures due to COVID-19. As a part of this extensive study,  166 primary school students who were unable to participate in Tech based distance education were also interviewed. In the research study, it was found that the students were not very engaged in the educational programmes aired on TV or. The top three reasons why the non TECH BASED DISTANCE EDUCATION students did not watch educational programmes on TV despite not having access to any other tech device mainly pointed towards lack of awareness of such programmes (37%), not having a TV set (37%) and not understanding the programmes (12%).

This study was conducted to understand the approach, challenges and implications of tech-based distance education for the primary school students from the government and budget private schools across Maharashtra. 

In our next post we will see what is the perception of teachers and other officials about the utility of the online classes for students.

गौखेल, जि. बीड : कोरोनामुळे आठ-नऊ महिन्यांपासून शाळा बंद असल्याने मुलांच्या शिक्षणाचा प्रश्न निर्माण झाला होता. या परिस्थितीत शांतिलाल मुथ्था फाउंडेशन ने एक आशेचा किरण दाखवला. तो अर्थातच ‘सहयोगी शिक्षण अभियान.' मुलांच्या शिक्षणात खंड पडू नये, यासाठी सरपंचांनी पुढाकार घेऊन सहयोगी शिक्षण अभियानांतर्गत गावात 'समाज विद्या केंद्र' सुरू करावे. त्यासाठी लागणारी जागा व शिकवण्यासाठी शिक्षण सारथींची निवड करावी. हे सर्व सामाजिक कार्य असल्याने यासाठी शासन किंवा संस्थेकडून कोणताही निधी देण्यात येत नाही. गौखेल येथील सहयोगी शिक्षण अभियानांतर्गत सुरू असलेल्या समाज विद्या केंद्रातील मुलांना मास्कचे वाटप करताना तालुका समन्वयक मंगल शेकडे. सरपंचांच्या प्रस्तावानंतर आवश्यक सर्व बाबींची पडताळणी करून १ ऑक्टोबर २०२० पासून १६ जिल्ह्यात प्रायोगिक तत्वावर या अभियानाला सुरुवात झाली. सध्या राज्यातील २३ जिल्ह्यातील १०५ समाज विद्या केंद्रावर १९०४ विद्यार्थी रोज शिकायला येतात. मुलांना शिक्षण प्रक्रियेत गुंतवून ठेवणे, विस्कळीत झालेली शैक्षणिक परिस्थिती पूर्ववत करणे हा अभियानाचा प्रमुख उद्देश आहे. गावातीलच ...

Some years ago, Kolhapur suffered from heavy floods. Naturally this caused the schools to be shut for quite some time. During that time Kedar sir started using applications like YouTube and Facebook to ensure that children were connected to learning. He found that his students responded well to this kind of technology-enabled distance learning. Most of the students that Kedar sir teaches hail from a nomadic tribe called NandiwaleSamaj.
