KOZHIKODE: As part of efforts to make Government schools more competitive and as attractive as private unaided schools, pedagogy parks, science laboratories and IT facilities are being set up utilising the MLA's Local Area Development Fund of A. Pradeep Kumar in Kozhikode I constituency.

As part of these efforts, pedagogy parks will be set up in select Government lower primary (LP) schools in the constituency to make them student friendly.

The concept of classrooms as pedagogy parks includes visual and self-learning facilities inside the classroom and outside. The first of these parks was set up at Azhchavattom Government LP School in the city at a cost of Rs.50,000. The park will be inaugurated by Minister for Education M.A. Baby as part of the State-level inauguration of `Praveshanolsavam' (welcome to students on first day of school) on Monday.

A sum of Rs.50,000 will be disbursed to select upper primary (UP) schools under the fund to modernise science laboratories. A sum of Rs.1.1 lakh will be provided to select high schools to set up IT facilities with Internet connection. The projectwill be implemented in LP, UP and high schools in the constituency over the next five years.
