Chief Minister Mr Thackeray said that this issue is very important and future-oriented. Education is going to be a very important part of the post-Corona world. It is equally important to make a living after education. Digital education is important in changing times, but it also requires the creation of the necessary infrastructure. Corona taught us a lot. Work from home, online learning started. Activities like Virtual Education, availability of textbooks through tabs were implemented in Mumbai Municipal Corporation. If children are taught through animation or drawing, it is immediately understood. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on such innovative concepts in the future, he said.
It is also necessary to reduce the burden of backpacks on the backs of children. With the changing times, digital learning, learning of various languages like English, German is also essential. Against this backdrop, the task force has submitted its report to the state government at the appropriate time for the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020. All the measures will be taken to keep Maharashtra in the forefront of education by implementing the suggestions as soon as possible, said Chief Minister Mr Thackeray.
