government's effort to ensure that teachers get necessary educational support
at every level, from lesson preparation to effective teaching: Minister Sandeep
Singh
Lucknow,
12 Aug (HS): The primary requirement for improved classroom learning is the
proper preparation of teachers. With this in mind, the Uttar Pradesh
government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has allocated over Rs 3.81
crore to provide teachers with the necessary academic resources for the 2026-27
academic year.
In
all 75 districts of the state, guidebooks and teacher diaries will be made
available for Hindi and Mathematics teachers from class 1 to 5, while a
separate limit of Rs 42.61 lakh has been issued under the LEP head for teachers
of council and Kasturba Gandhi Girls Schools from class 6 to 8.
Minister
of State (Independent Charge) for Basic Education, Sandeep Singh, said that a
better classroom begins with better preparation. The government's effort is to
ensure that teachers receive the necessary educational support at every level,
from lesson preparation to effective teaching. The Guide and Teacher Diary are
initiatives to strengthen this teacher-centered system.
The
State Project Director's Office, Samagra Shiksha, has released a total limit of
Rs 338.54 lakh to 75 districts for the printing and supply of Hindi and
Mathematics subject manuals and teacher diaries for classes 1 to 5. This includes
Rs 172.35 lakh for the printing of the manual, Rs 152.91 lakh for the teacher
diaries, and Rs 13.27 lakh for the transportation of printed materials.
The
guide will help teachers better understand the content, plan learning
activities, and tailor lessons to the needs of the class, while also enabling
teachers to more systematically plan their class work and prepare for teaching
activities through the Teacher Diary.
A
separate limit of Rs 42.61 lakh will be released under the LEP head for
teachers of council and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas in grades 6 to 8.
This is intended to provide teachers with the necessary academic support for
lesson preparation, presentation, and classroom activities, rather than
limiting them to textbooks.
Director
General of School Education and State Project Director Monica Rani has issued
instructions to ensure the timely supply of handbooks and teacher diaries and
their distribution to the school level. The instructions clarify that teachers
should not have to wait for necessary materials during the academic session.
