Are you a
student of standard V or VI?? If no den you’ve lost an opportunity at being the
owner of the latest craze of having a tablet in hand. Students of standard V
and VI will soon be getting a tablet or a notebook for mere Rs 25 by end of the
academic year. Students from scheduled caste and scheduled tribe will however be
charged only Rs 10. The state government is known to have made a provision of
Rs 95 crore for the purpose. The Directorate of Education (DoE) is expecting
around 40,000 applications from Std V and VI for the tablets or notebooks.
An
undertaking will have to be taken from each parent, having no objection to
supplying their child with a tablet. The Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Parrikar,
plans to utilize the tablet for e-learning, using Goa Broadband service and the
data centre, through which the content prepared by experienced retired teachers
will be made available to the students.
I
personally hope that these tablets do not prove to be faulty and have problems
with their working as the students of my batch faced when we gained computers
through a similar scheme of paying Rs, 1,000 for each system. Most of us had to
spend more money in fixing our faulty systems within the same year. Electronics
make our life easier, but having good quality ones makes it worth the price.
