National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has today released the alternative academic calendar for classes 6, 7 and 8. The calendar has various educational activities to engage students during their stay at home during COVID-19 and has been developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) under the guidance of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).
NCERT says, "In this period of Covid-19, which is declared as global pandemic, our teachers, parents and students have to remain at homes to prevent its spread in the community. In this situation, it is our responsibility to provide them with multiple alternative ways of learning at home through interesting activities.
It is necessary because in the present environment of stress we have to not only keep our children busy but also to maintain continuity of their learning in their new classes."
