New Delhi. Children studying in Anganwadi will now learn to read while playing. The sports kit (ECCE kit) prepared by SCERT was launched by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at Tyagraj Stadium. This kit includes play materials, toys and literacy resources. It also comes with a manual that will guide you on how to use each item. During this, Kejriwal said that economically weak people send their children to Anganwadi centers for education, while economically strong people send them to crèches. The government wants to eliminate the difference between these two.
Anganwadi workers will get training
Like teachers of government schools, Anganwadi workers will also be trained by sending them to big institutions and everyone will be freed from non-teaching work. During this, the merits of the game box were explained through the video. The Khel Pitara has been designed keeping in mind the needs and learning style of children. It includes many interesting things including puzzles, stationery. Education Minister Atishi and other senior officials were present on the occasion. Kejriwal said that the Delhi government has 11,000 Anganwadi centres. About 1.75 lakh children attend these centres. If these children stay in the center for three years, then every year 60 thousand children leave the center and 60 thousand new children come.
