In order to improve the standard of education in the state and to assess the level of students' development in different disciplines, the government of Tripura has decided to distribute laptops to 800 school teachers across the state. In the month of February, the state government held a survey to assess the educational status of students between third and eighth standard in government school
The Education Minister of Tripura, Ratan Lal Nath told PTI that the government has sanctioned Rs 28 crore for Notun Disha (new direction), a new one-month project to provide training to teachers.
Eight hundred teachers would be selected for the training, and selected NGOs, societies or educational institutions would provide the training.
Different national surveys have shown that a section of students cannot do simple addition, subtraction, division etc; neither can they read out from their textbooks.
