Kerala launches Revive programme to address students’ learning gaps in three subjects

‘Revive’ launched to improve students’ academic standards

The General Education department’s ‘Revive, Navajeevanam’ programme has been inaugurated to address difficulties faced by lower and upper primary students in Malayalam, English and Mathematics. The programme is being implemented through Samagra Shiksha Keralam. Minister for General Education N. Samsudheen inaugurated it at St. Mary’s Higher Secondary School, Pattom, here on Tuesday.

Focus on learning gaps

Revive will identify the areas in which students lag behind and introduce effective teaching-learning activities to address those difficulties. The programme will also analyse students’ learning achievements and promote continuous improvement in teaching practice, the Minister said.

The initiative is aimed at improving students’ academic standards by focusing on specific difficulties in three core subjects. Its approach will involve identifying learning gaps, responding through teaching-learning activities and reviewing learning achievements.

Samsudheen said the government aims to ensure that children do not experience difficulties in their studies. He added that the government was committed to bringing all children into the mainstream of education and equipping them with life skills.

Part of 100-day programme

Revive is one of the 16 programmes planned by the General Education department as part of the government’s 100-day programme. It will also help provide students with opportunities in further studies and careers.

Samsudheen was speaking after inaugurating the programme. Minister for Health K. Muraleedharan presided over the meeting. Samagra Shiksha Keralam State project director K. Mohanakumar was present.
