Pune: At least 120 books written by govt school teachers in Maharashtra will become part of 65,000 school libraries in the state. The state education department has set up a panel to pick the best literature written by school teachers on various topics including sports, poems, environment, and science, and written in English, Marathi, Hindi, and Urdu. The panel set up by the State Council of Education Research and Training (SCERT) will play a deciding factor.
The students studying from Std I to XII could take advantage of this initiative. The initiative started on a small scale in Marathi and Urdu received a good response. Commissioner of education Suraj Mandhare said, “It is part of the many measures we are taking for quality enhancement in our schools.
So far, the focus has been on infrastructure, but now, we are slowly shifting to the quality of education. It begins with the enhancement for teachers. Creative engagement of teachers in activities beyond their normal work will fetch better results.
" From this year, the initiative has been expanded and additions with Hindi and English language literature have been made. Suhas Kendale, a zilla parishad teacher from the Pune district, said teachers have been adding to literature in short stories, small booklets, or a journal. “Some poems written by teachers are circulated in schools and read out in classrooms.
The state govt is giving these talented teachers a bigger platform to showcase their work and give them the due appreciation," he added.
