These tribal students to meet peers, digitally

LP students of hamlets in Idukki, Wayanad will interact for two hours every week

‘Onnanu Nammal’ (We are one), an online programme designed by the Samagra Shiksha, Kerala, (SSK), for students of tribal settlements in Idukki and Wayanad districts and children of migrant labourers in Ernakulam district, is aimed at making online classes more interesting. It is a weekly interactive programme between students of different tribal settlements, or ‘ooru’. Through the exchange of academic and cultural information in virtual classrooms, the students of a settlement will get to know about the activities in other settlements. ‘Onnanu Nammal’ is primarily meant for lower primary classes in Idukki and Wayanad. Under a similar programme, children of migrant workers will interact with their peers in different parts of Ernakulam district and exchange academic and cultural information.
