Major Step Toward Modernization of Education; Five-Day ICT Lab Training Program Begins for High School Teachers, Educators Being Trained in Computer, Projector, and Smart Class Operations
Bhagalpur, Special Correspondent: In a significant and commendable initiative in Silk City Bhagalpur, the education system is being transformed into a fully digital and technologically advanced setup in line with changing times. Aimed at elevating the standard of teaching in high schools to global benchmarks and delivering the benefits of modern technology directly to students, a five-day ICT Lab Training Program commenced on Wednesday. Under this special training program, selected teachers at major educational institutions in the city—Ganpati Singh High School and Ramdhari High School—are receiving intensive practical training in the use of computers, digital projectors, smart classes, and other state-of-the-art technical equipment.
Digital Education Is the Need of the Hour: Why Was This Training Necessary?
The modern era is the age of information and technology, and the education sector cannot remain untouched by it. The government and the education department firmly believe that moving beyond the traditional era of blackboards and books, classrooms now need to be equipped with smart and visual learning:
Journey from Traditional Teaching to Smart Classes: Today's students are more attracted to technology. When education is made engaging through graphics, videos, digital projectors, and computers, students' comprehension capacities increase manifold.
Making Teachers Technologically Capable: The primary objective of this training is to ensure that the ICT labs established in government schools operate at full capacity instead of gathering dust. Only when teachers themselves become adept at operating computers and projectors can they properly train the children.
Special Sessions Underway at Ganpati Singh High School and Ramdhari High School
On the first day of this five-day training program, immense enthusiasm was witnessed among teachers at both designated centers—Ganpati Singh High School and Ramdhari High School:
Emphasis on Practical Training: During the training camp, master trainers and technical experts are imparting both theoretical and practical knowledge to the teachers. Educators are being taught everything from turning on computers to accessing online educational content via the internet and displaying it on smart boards or projectors.
Tips for Better Operation and Maintenance of Labs: Instructors are also providing detailed information on not just operating the equipment, but also ensuring their safety, maintenance, and basic troubleshooting in case of technical glitches. This will ensure the optimal utilization of crores of rupees worth of technical assets installed in schools.
Immense Enthusiasm Among Teachers, Students to Gain Direct Benefits
Teachers undergoing the training have highly praised this initiative, calling it a milestone in teaching work:
Teachers' Response: Educators noted that while initial hesitation regarding technology is natural, after this five-day intensive training, they are fully confident that they will be able to teach students in their respective schools much more effectively using modern technology.
Bright Future for Students: With the materialization of this system, meritorious students studying in government schools will also be able to avail the benefits of smart classes on par with convent schools, deepening their understanding of science, mathematics, and other subjects.
This five-day ICT lab training program organized in Bhagalpur is not merely a training camp, but a concrete effort to take the standard of education in government schools to new heights. This caravan, which began from Ganpati Singh High School and Ramdhari High School, will serve as an inspiration for other schools in the district in the coming days. When teachers step into classrooms equipped with technology, the dream of Digital Bihar and Digital India will truly materialize.
