Abstract

From Introduction: The 1st credit agreement between IDA and the government of India/Kerala was signed on 22-1-94 was implemented in the 3 districts of Wayanad, Kasargod and Malapuram. Programme implementation in Kerala was formally inaugurated in February 1995. The initial thrust of the programme in Kerala was on enhancing the achievement level of children in primary classes. With this objective curriculum and textbooks for the Primary classes were revised under the auspices of DPEP. Subsequently a variety of critical inputs like intensive teacher training, effective onsite support, and developing teachers’ handbooks etc were introduced as part of holistic approach to pedagogical renewal.
