Jalandhar, October 8

The Education Department in a circular issued to the District Education Officers (DEOs) have asked to do optimum use of the smart classes. The circular reads, “It has been noted with appreciation that a large number of schools are having projectors and are using e-contents effectively. As there is the shortage of projectors and other such media in some schools, teachers have also pointed out that all of them are not able to get the facility of Smart Classroom/Projector in their school,”

The circular further reads: “At some places schools are even ensuring that the Project Room or Smart Classroom are not vacant or idle even for a minute which is a very good practice. We all need to follow this practice. It is therefore decided that the School Heads may kindly make the time table for the use of the available Projectors in their school. Such a weekly time table may kindly be circulated to all schoolteachers and the students also.”
