The Government of Maharashtra has introduced the ‘SETU’ study program, aimed at supporting and empowering students from the 2nd to 10th standard across the state. This initiative, which focuses on bridging learning gaps caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, was announced by the state education department.
The ‘SETU’ study program, which stands for “Support, Engagement, Training, and Upliftment,” aims to provide academic assistance, engagement activities, and additional training to students. The program acknowledges the disruption in regular classroom education due to the pandemic and aims to ensure that students receive comprehensive support to overcome any learning challenges they may have faced during this period.
Under this initiative, various measures will be implemented to enhance the learning experience for students. This includes providing remedial classes to address learning gaps, conducting regular assessments to monitor progress, and organizing interactive sessions to engage students in a holistic manner. Additionally, the program will focus on providing training to teachers to effectively implement the study materials and foster a conducive learning environment.
Speaking about the ‘SETU’ study program, education department officials emphasized the importance of addressing the academic needs of students and ensuring their overall development. They highlighted the program’s commitment to providing equal educational opportunities for students across the state, irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds.
The initiative has garnered positive responses from parents, teachers, and education experts who believe that such targeted interventions are crucial to mitigate the adverse effects of the pandemic on students’ education. The ‘SETU’ study program is expected to contribute significantly to the educational growth and well-being of students, helping them regain lost learning and develop essential skills for their future.
To ensure the successful implementation of the program, the state education department will collaborate with schools, teachers, and education experts. The government will also allocate resources and provide necessary support to schools and teachers to effectively implement the ‘SETU’ study program.
As the pandemic continues to impact the education sector, the ‘SETU’ study program sets a positive precedent in addressing the learning challenges faced by students in Maharashtra. It reflects the government’s commitment to prioritizing the education sector and ensuring the academic growth and well-being of students in the state.
