EDMC launches an e-library for primary students

NEW DELHI: To help primary school students access information related to their syllabus at any point of time,

East Delhi Municipal Corporation

(EDMC) has introduced the concept of e-library. It contains worksheets and audio-videos of Hindi, English, Maths,

EVS

and Social Studies. It also contains information related to early childhood care and education resources.


The facility was inaugurated by EDMC commissioner Vikas Anand on Monday. School principals, teachers and students can access these resources using log-in credentials. As students can’t attend regular classes due to the pandemic, the facility is likely to benefit more than 2,25,000 students and 4,500 teachers at 354 schools.


“To strengthen digital learning in schools, we have started the e-library, which is a repository of learning resources for teachers and students. The concept is being developed by the

education department

with the help of

Tech Mahindra Foundation

,” said an official.


To help parents explore the facilities available at primary schools, especially those wanting to enroll their kids, EDMC has got a separate website prepared for each school last month. Each website has information related to online class teaching, students, employees and infrastructure.


“Details of number of rooms, washrooms, playground, teachers, their qualification, activities performed, class-wise syllabus, circulars, performance and history are also provided. All websites are updated regularly and their links are on the recently started management information system portal of the east corporation,” said a senior EDMC official.
