In order to help students attending online classes during the COVID-19 lockdown in Kerala, Legislator Muhammed Muhassin has introduced a support system called ‘Magic pen’. The initiative is scheduled for the 2020-21 academic year. The MLA from Pattambi Constituency in Palakkad said that the initiative is launched in cooperation with the local cable network and will work as an online education enrichment programme. The MLA stated that the classes are prepared by educationists and experts from Pattambi and the surrounding areas.
An Alumnus from JNU the MLA while inaugurating the programme further stated that online learning has become the most important part of the complete educational activities in the present time due to the COVID-19 pandemic and as the people are going through different stages of the lockdown, virtual classes are also relevant since the children are not in a position to go to schools.
Magic Pen initiative is not against the Kerala Government’s First Bell Education programme but instead a supportive and enriching programme. The initiative is for presenting the students with broader ideas than that taught in classrooms and the students will be instructed to new ideas related to every subject as per their age. It will also contain sessions on career options and talks by experts.
Two classes will be conducted in a week in the initial stage which will be increased to three classes later. The classes will be held on Mondays for class 5, 6 and 7 students while the sessions for the class 8 to 10 students will be conducted on Wednesdays.
