Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday registered appreciation and thanks to the education department, parents, teaching community and the society for efforts to ensure that the education process of the state continued unhindered during the time of COVID-19 pandemic.
His remarks came in the wake of a recent India Case Study by UNICEF on the effects of COVID-19 on education, which showered praise on the state in this connection.
In a series of tweets, the Chief Minister quoted remarks from the study report, which mentioned the state's achievement.
One such mention read in the tweet "Kerala is an exception: about 70 per cent of parents of both younger & adolescent students believe that overall learning progress is the same or better than it would be in school".
"Kerala has the greatest technology access, & it has also been among the most proactive states in supporting students: it is the only state where nearly everyone who used remote learning, reports that the government has provided remote learning resources," the study further said.
Vijayan thanked everyone who stood by the children to overcome hurdles and ensure hassle-free learning during the time of the pandemic.
"Wholehearted thanks to everyone who has made this possible. Education Dept., teachers, parents & society have stood together with the children to overcome hurdles and ensure that our education process continues unhindered," he further tweeted.
