The Hubballi education department has identified approximately 80,000 slow learners across government schools from classes 2 to 10. This revelation came through ‘Minchana Sanchara,’ a comprehensive assessment of government schools conducted from June 1 to June 9. The survey highlighted significant gaps in basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills among students, particularly those from slum areas who often miss school.
Hubballi city has the highest number of slow learners, with 18,419 identified. To address this, the education department plans to prepare and distribute specialized study materials to support these students. Additionally, block resource coordinators (BRCs) across taluks have been instructed to integrate slow learners into mainstream education by the end of October. Special morning classes, including ‘Bhasha Saptaha’ and ‘Ganita Saptaha,’ have been introduced to focus on language and mathematics skills.
The department has also noted improvements from last year, with ongoing efforts to reduce the number of slow learners. The initiative involves separate classes and tailored study materials to enhance basic skills and encourage regular school attendance.
According to DDPI Shanamuk Swamy Keladimath, progress is being made, and schools are expected to bring slow learners into the mainstream by the end of October. SDMC president Ningappa Hadapad assured that special classes would help students grasp fundamental skills, aiming for a reduction in slow learners in the coming month.
