State launches initiative to bridge learning gap among students
Chennai: The Tamil Nadu school education department on Thursday launched the 'Thiran' (Targeted Help for Improving Remediation and Academic Nurturing) initiative to bridge learning gaps among students studying in Classes VI to IX. Deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin released the workbook for remedial coaching under the scheme. According to the plan, teachers will select students who are struggling to read, write, and do basic maths in upper primary and give them focused coaching for six months. The recent state-level learning achievement survey conducted among Classes III, V, and VIII students revealed that students studying in Class VIII lacked reading, writing, and basic maths skills. "In Aug, all students will learn basic reading, writing, and maths prescribed for lower classes. After conducting a survey, students who need remedial coaching will be selected, and they will be given focused coaching. Their progress will be assessed every month," an official said.
