Telangana: Tulasi e-learning launched in schools

HYDERABAD: The state government has launched ‘Telangana Unique Learning and Assessment Initiative’ (Tulasi) in schools to implement a learning management system for digital education. The pilot project was launched by eSiksha in Hyderabad, Medchal, Malkajgiri and Suryapet districts.
Recorded lessons on video on demand will be made available for the students in government schools.
Telangana Samagra Shiksha state project director A Sridevasena issued orders to the district educational officers to inform the headmasters of the government schools selected for the project Gautham Singh, director, eShiksha, said the pandemic had created a vacuum in the education system and governments, schools and institutions struggled in the last two years.
“Attempts to reopen schools have been continuously unsuccessful due to various factors that led to digital divide, loss of learning, missing on curriculum year for children, financial disparities and so on,” he said.
Mohammed Ali of eShiksha said the programme was designed to include traditional learning methodology with measurable outcome. “The programme is designed to bring out the best capabilities of learners and make sure that they are not only covering curriculum but also becoming digitally wise and proficient to be competitive,” he added. A similar programme was launched in Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.
Government schools in Malakpet, Malkajgiri, Kowkur, Suraram, Bahadurpally, Karwan, Asifnagar and Sabzimandi, besides Suryapet were selected for the pilot project
