New Delhi, Apr 10, Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on Friday launched a week-long ‘Bharat Padhe Online’ campaign for crowd sourcing of ideas for improving online education ecosystem of India.
The campaign aims to invite all the best brains in India to share suggestions/solutions directly with HRD Ministry to overcome constraints of online education while promoting the available digital education platforms, he said.
“Ideas can be shared on bharatpadheonline.mhrd@gmail.comand on twitter by using # BharatPadheOnline up to April 16, 2020. While using Twitter one must tag @HRDMinistry and @DrRPNishank so that ideas can be notified to us,” he added.
The minister said he would like to go through the suggestions personally.
He tweeted: “I request you all to give your suggestions to the Ministry to make online education system more effective and creative.”
Mr Pokhriyal said students and teachers were the main target audience in it and he hoped that they would participate in this campaign wholeheartedly to improve the existing online education methods.
“Students, who are currently studying in schools or higher educational institutions, are the ones engaging with the existing digital platforms offering various courses on a daily basis. They can share what is lacking in the existing online platforms and how we can make them more engaging,” he suggested.
Further, educators across the country could also come forward to contribute with their expertise and experience in the field of education.
“A conversation could be initiated with them, asking them that what do they think an ideal online education ecosystem should look like? Or what were the limitations of the current online education scenario of India? What challenges they face in traditional classrooms that can be addressed through online education,” he added, an official release here said.
