Keeping up with the times, government school children of classes 8 and 9 in Karnataka will get a chance to learn coding. Thanks to a memorandum signed by Samagra Shikshana Karnataka (SSK) and British Council, children at 100 schools will be taught coding skills to begin with.
Under the pilot project, 200 teachers from 100 schools will be trained in TEACHING<\/a> digital and coding skills using physical Micro:bit, a pocket-sized computer. The teachers, in turn, will train around 3,500 students this academic year.<\/p>\n

The teachers will receive a three-day face-to-face training that will be delivered by British Council trainers using material provided by Micro:bit Foundation, a non-profit organisation.<\/p>\n

As per the Unified District Information System of Education<\/a> for 2021-22, around 81% of schools in the state have computer facility. But less than 7% of government schools in the state have a functional ICT (Information and Communication<\/a> Technology) lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
