Online TEACHING during thepandemichas created physical distance between the teacher and the student. In such circumstances, to help teachers better gauge Learning outcomes, a tracking app is being introduced on a pilot basis in 29 government and aided primary schools across three talukas in Goa.

Once the Learning Navigator app is appropriately vetted to adapt it to the needs of local schools through its use during the academic year 2021-22, the state council for educational research and training (SCERT) plans to introduce the Software to teachers in all the 1,000-odd government and aided schools from 2022.

The app is used at the teachers end to review the progress of each child in foundational Literacy and numeracy, and its use will not be affected if the student does not have access to a device.
