SHILLONG: In light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Director of School Education and Literacy and the Director of Higher and Technical Education, Meghalaya, A Marak advised schools, colleges, teachers and students to participate and register with the free social initiative and startup – CR School.
CR School is a platform for all schools to be available online for interactive e-learning. It was started by Christopher Rani, CEO and founder of CR Projects, with an aim to bridge any type of physical boundaries brought about by external circumstances that could hinder the growth and development of students at large.
Marak said that with a view of being committed to the academic welfare of the students the government is keen to mitigate the anxiety of the students, parents, and schools.
In view of the prevailing extraordinary circumstances of the worldwide spread of COVID-19 and the countrywide lockdown, and in view of the queries raised by our stakeholders regarding the academic future of students, the Director of Higher and Technical Education has advised all schools to take this reformative step.
Important features like, seamless online classes, interactive communications between teachers and students, updated class lessons, personal evaluations, prometric tests, on-the-go access to study materials and downloadable content.
“Though the present set of circumstances is not within the control of the masses yet CR School has come forward as a beam of hope at the end of the tunnel for schools, colleges, teachers, and students alike,” Marak said.
The technical team at CR Projects along with the collaboration of the Education Department is working constantly behind the scenes to take care of the academic future of its students and are looking forward to more schools joining in.
