Thiruvananthapuram, The Keralam government will roll out the 'Digital Square' project in around 6,000 lower primary and upper primary schools to strengthen digital learning facilities, state General Education Minister N Samsudheen has said.
The project is part of the UDF government's 100-day action programme, under which high school students will be trained in artificial intelligence and robotics, while a separate initiative will create awareness among students about cyber security, he said.
Addressing a programme here on Tuesday, Samsudheen said the government and the General Education Department were taking steps to address, as far as possible, the problems faced by teachers and students in the state.
The minister said the government was also considering extending the existing school midday meal scheme up to Plus Two and including breakfast along with lunch.
At present, the Centre-sponsored PM POSHAN scheme, popularly known as mid-day meal scheme, covers students up to Class 8. Extending the scheme to the higher secondary level would help ensure nutritious food for all school students, he said.
