Chief Education Officer Appreciates Students’ Learning Levels and Innovative Practices

Government Primary School Chaunrkhal, Pauri Garhwal, received an encouraging appreciation during a surprise visit by Chief Education Officer Mr. Atresh Sayana. Without prior notice, the Chief Education Officer visited the school and directly reviewed its academic arrangements, available facilities, teaching-learning resources, classroom environment, and students’ learning levels. During the visit, the Chief Education Officer interacted directly with the students to understand their knowledge, comprehension, confidence, and level of participation. He asked questions from the students and observed their responses and engagement. The learning levels of the students were found appropriate and satisfactory, while the overall facilities and arrangements of the school were also found appropriate.

A special highlight of the visit was the school’s QR Code Garden, which attracted the attention of the Chief Education Officer. He appreciated the innovative initiative of integrating technology, nature, and learning within the school campus. Through the QR Code Garden, students can access information related to plants and the environment using digital resources, transforming the school surroundings into an interactive learning space. The initiative reflects the school’s efforts to make learning more experiential, engaging, technology-enabled, and connected with the local environment.
