Monthly Newsletter | February 2025 | Volume 66
Hello Readers,
February is On!
Signaling the start of summer, this month brings a series of key events that align perfectly with educational scenarios, especially that of schools. We start the month with International Day of Education on the 1st and it serves as a reminder of our responsibility to ensure accessible learning. The National Science Day on the 28th forms a good opportunity to reflect on the role of science in shaping the future.
Keeping this in mind, let's go deeper into some very important aspects of the educational realm like how to address the facilitator shortages, how to ensure food transparency in school meals, or measures to strengthen the SSLC preparation. Apart from that, efforts to improve school infrastructure in Karnataka gain momentum with findings from the latest UDISE report.
As the season heats up, so does the momentum toward a more inclusive, efficient educational system. Enjoy this month’s edition, filled with essential updates in the educational sector. Read on and enrich us with your valuable feedback!
Thank you.
