To be set up on the lines of Vidya Samiksha Kendra in Gujarat, the tech set-up of the centre, along with the software, is ready to be inaugurated in Pune. The Maharashtra Prathamik Shikshan Parishad (MPSP), which has taken help from IT companies to develop the software, will track students from classes 1 to 8 under the initiative, said officials.
A team of 20 education and technology experts will work on data analysis at the centre, which in turn will create a roadmap for each district.
The government envisions having real-time performance reports of each district, school and student with the help of the software.
“The idea is to be able to check the progress report of all students at this centre. As part of the Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation, schools will be asked to conduct small tests each month on whatever has been taught until then. Teachers will upload students’ performance on the software through a user-friendly cellphone application. The real-time data will help experts create a targeted plan of improvement,” said Kailas Pagare, State Project Director of Samagra Shiksha, MPSP.
