Under the Samagra Shiksha program, the government of Tamil Nadu will employ 8,209 administrators-cum-instructors in high-tech laboratories of government schools for 60 months or 5 years. The Project Director of Samagra Shiksha has directed all Tamil Nadu district educational officers to make the appointments immediately.
A Samagra Shiksha circular stated that the administrators will be employed for operations and maintenance duty for 60 months. The project will be executed with the support of a private enterprise.
The department laid down a two-part testing process for selecting candidates, with a screening test to assess soft technical skills using dynamically generated questions.
The second level will be a computer-based test for those who pass screening. It will be a monitored test focused on core skills and academic knowledge to further refine the selection, which is likely to be done on June 5 in all 38 districts of Tennessee. The high-tech labs will upgrade technical infrastructure to equip students with the latest technological advancements.
The Tamil Nadu government has established 22,931 smart boards and 8,209 high-tech labs in government schools. This is a marked difference from the chalk-and-board teaching methods in schools at present.
