DIMAPUR, DEC 3 (NPN) : Advisor school education KT Sukhalu Thursday virtually launched the Nagaland Education Management and Information System (NEMIS) developed by the department of school education and the e-classroom programme under ICT and Digital Initiatives implemented by the Samagra Shiksha, Nagaland.

According to a DIPR report, the NEMIS portal has been developed for monitoring functioning of both government and private schools functioning in the state. The e-classroom programme would help the students understand their lesson/concepts better, develop more innovative ideas, queries and solutions to broaden their domain of knowledge and achieve academic excellence.

Speaking at the launching programme, Sukhalu congratulated the department for developing the NEMIS, which he said could play a major role in ensuring quality education to all children across the State particularly to those from the rural areas.

Advisor expressed happiness over the development of a mechanism for child tracking.

Further, Sukhalu stated that students, particularly those studying in government schools, have faced many challenges during the pandemic to access the online education classes due to various factors.

He thanked the ministry of education for sanctioning the e-classroom programme which could help the students, teachers and the department in addressing the challenges related to the accessibility of Online Education.

He asked the teachers and department officials to make best use of the facilities provided so students studying in government schools could update themselves with the help of the latest technical developments.

Principal director school education, Shanavas C, chaired the programme and gave brief description of the NEMIS and the e-classroom programme.

The programme was attended by Kevileno Angami, Special Secretary, School Education; Temsunaro Aier, Mission Director, Samagra Shiksha; Asano Sekhose, Chairman, NBSE and officials from the department.

NEMIS portal has several functions including information of school ownership and management; information of teaching and non-teaching staff; online admission register; class wise students’ information; results; health record; transfer certificate and child tracking.

NEMIS has been made in such a way that it could be modified and more features could be added in future as per the needs of the department.

With regard to e-classroom programme, the concept has been introduced in the state before the onset of the pandemic.

During 2020-21, the Ministry of Education and Literacy, approved the use of e-classroom for 191 elementary schools (Classes VI-VIII) and 282 secondary schools (Classes IX-XII) in the State. One of the main purposes for providing e-classroom is to enable the students to cope up with their interrupted learning due to lockdown.

The e-contents of each lesson class-wise have been developed according to the SCERT and NBSC curriculum.

The pre-loaded video lessons are embedded in pen drives and would be transacted through SMART TVs. The e-content modules have also been incorporated with 2D, 3D animations, videos and illustrations to make lessons easier, engaging and more interactive.

The lessons could be updated according to changes in the curriculum.

Samagra Shiksha, Nagaland has partnered with the Bright Tutee for e-content development.
