The Education Department of Meghalaya has proposed an ambitious plan to introduce 5,000 additional smart classrooms in schools across the state.
While speaking to Northeast Live, Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma on Saturday said that the proposal has been submitted to the central government, and the state is currently awaiting approval.
Sangma stated that the smart classrooms have already been implemented in several institutions, and the government views this as a critical step in modernizing education.
Recognizing the importance of integrating technology into learning, the initiative aims to make education more interactive and accessible to students.
Additionally, the state plans to introduce QR (Quick Response) code-enabled textbooks for Classes 10 to 12 in key subjects such as Science, Mathematics, and Social Science from the next academic session. These textbooks will provide students with access to video lessons and solved exercises, offering a comprehensive learning solution designed to reduce the need for external tuition.
This dual initiative of smart classrooms and QR code-enabled textbooks is expected to significantly improve educational outcomes and bring innovative tools into the learning process for students in Meghalaya.
