The unique thing about the software will be that students themselves can operate it without any help from instructors to sharpen their English speaking skills.
Under the aegis of Directorate of Schedule Caste Welfare of Gujarat government, the software will be installed in all the state-run 20 Residential Schools across Gujarat meant for the students coming from SC community.
According to the Deputy Director of SC Welfare P R Tank, the software will be installed in all these schools by the end of March next year.
Stressing on the need for such a software, Tank said poor English is keeping these students behind those studying in city-based schools.
"Majority of our students come from villages, where they have acquired primary education. Thus, it is natural that their communicative English is weak as compared to those who studied in city based schools. To cope up with the situation, we have decided to develop a specialised software to teach them English and make them more confident," said Tank.
According to Tank, this new methodology will prove to be more effective then age-old system of teachers imparting education. Thus, the software will work on two modes, teacher-led and student-led.
