Shortlisted firms will provide live tutoring, digital learning platforms, diagnostic and adaptive assessments, personalised learning plans and mechanisms for resolving academic doubts.“The initiative would build on the infrastructure and digital facilities already developed in the schools to translate those investments into superior student outcomes,” JEPC state project director Shashi Ranjan said in a letter.Under the initiative, over 20,000 students, studying in Classes 9-12 will undergo baseline diagnostic assessments. Based on the assessments, individual student learning plans will be prepared and reviewed monthly and after major assessments.
