‘Happiness’ curriculum for students
The Hindu
To ease the learning atmosphere when schools reopen on Nov.1
A ‘happiness’ curriculum will be drafted to ease students into the learning environment once schools reopen on November 1. For the first couple of weeks, instead of direct lessons, focus will be on play, songs, and stories to make the back-to-school experience a joyful one for students.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) monitoring committee meeting that was chaired by Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty on Thursday. The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has been entrusted with the preparation of the curriculum.
