School Edu department introduces summer proj for primary students

SOUMITRA NANDI, MP, 21 Mar 2024 : Buoyed by the overwhelming response to the summer project from students of class V to XII, that was introduced in 2023, the state School Education department for the first time this year is bringing the primary students (class I to IV) too under the ambit of this project. 

Summer projects in schools will be organised during summer vacations with the objective of giving students a more hands-on approach to concepts and in-depth knowledge on subjects. 

A senior official associated with the Paschim Banga Samagra Siksha Mission (PBSSM) under the School Education department said that they will soon come up with a guideline in the form of suggestions of activities.
It will include advice on conducting a guided tour for the students’ so that they get familiar with their local area, place of significance if any, the flora and fauna, including the bird species. 

The students can be given a homework assignment based on their exposure to the summer project rather than doing handwriting exercise which often leads to boredom.
