The iPrep Tablet can be a powerful educational tool in the classroom as well as a personal learning companion to students. This makes it a potential indispensable resource for both students and teachers.
The New Delhi Municipal Council is gearing up for an important initiative to upgrade the learning environment in schools through digital learning tablets. In an important announcement, the NDMC has declared that 8766 tablets will be distributed among teachers and students of classes IX and XII in the upcoming academic session. This initiative is an extension of a pilot project that involved the distribution of 811 tablets to students in select schools earlier. The NDMC Educational Tablet scheme aligns itself with the Digital India Scheme and the New Education Policy, 2020, in making learning more accessible and inclusive through technology.
Additionally, the NDMC has greenlit a proposal for the procurement of computers and peripherals to modernize existing labs in 29 Navyug schools, further enriching the educational experience for students.
Key Points of the NDMC Educational Tablet Scheme
Under the total number of tablets earmarked for the NDMC Educational Tablet Scheme, 8,138 will be given to students and 628 to teachers, across Atal Adarsh and Navyug Schools. These tablets will come preloaded with digital content, encompassing study materials, videos, and question papers tailored to the curriculum. It has also been stated that measures will be put in place to prevent non-educational use.
NDMC has further stated that the tablets will be procured through the Government e Marketplace (GeM) portal which highlights its commitment to acquiring reliable and quality products. GeM serves as the primary procurement hub for various governmental entities, promoting transparency and efficiency.
