Ensuring that children are acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge in each class is an integral part of the comprehensive quality plan. Learning support will be imparted to children if necessary. The learning support activity organised in April for the eighth grade children who did not get 30 percent marks as a continuation of the March 2025 annual examination is part of this. If there is a learning gap in any area, a conscious effort to resolve it is essential at the beginning of the school year. Practical measures to develop learning process and strengthen the understanding of constitutional values such as democracy, secularism, equality have been included in the curriculum. Additionally, social values and civic consciousness put forward by the Curriculum Framework 2023 will be imparted to children. Awareness should be raised on issues such as personal hygiene, environmental cleanliness, traffic rules etc. In this way, good health habits and hygiene habits can be established as the lifestyle of the future generation. Naturally, teachers should lead all these activities.

Parental participation should be ensured as much as possible. Discussions should be held in classrooms on how to use mobile phones with discretion. Participation of all children in such discussions should be encouraged. Children need to have a clear understanding of digital discipline.

The pitfalls that can be encountered while using digital media can also be introduced to children, considering their age. Knowing the children and understanding the life situation of each child is a prerequisite for quality education. Only then can we know the reasons for their behavioural characteristics. Along with this, we can know where each child stands in the application of technology in the subject areas of language, science, social science, and mathematics.
