School Education: Classroom setting has changed, now chairs will be placed in U shape, the dominance of backbenchers will end..

School Education: Everyone will remember their school days. Some children liked to sit on the back seats of the class, while some had fixed seats in the front. There was also a notion that backbenchers are naughty and not interested in studies, while all the toppers are in the front. But this will not happen in a school in Kerala. The classroom setting is being changed to end the system of backbenchers there. This is considered a big decision amid education reform.

Kerala has left other states far behind in literacy rate. Kerala and other South Indian states have maintained their dominance even in difficult entrance exams like NEET and JEE. Now, the new arrangement of the classroom settings in school education will provide every child with an equal opportunity to study and ask questions. Many times, children sitting in the back seats are not able to understand things properly. Now they will not have to go through this problem. Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has also praised this setting.

The Kerala school became an innovative model.

In Rama Vilasom Vocational Higher Secondary School (RVGHSS) located in Kerala, the chairs of the children have now been arranged in a U shape. This allows the teachers to keep an equal eye on every child, and at the same time, the setup of backbenchers has also ended. In the new arrangement of the classroom, every child will get an opportunity to sit in the front seat. The Tamil Nadu Education Department was so impressed with this initiative that it is planning to implement it in all the government schools of the state. Let us tell you that the letter U in English is 'Pa' in the Tamil language.

Inspiration from the movie

The Kerala school got this idea from the classroom shown in the 2024 Malayalam film 'Sthanarthi Sreekuttan'. Some scenes of this movie are set against the background of a classroom. It was shown that the seats of all the students were placed adjacent to the four walls of the classroom. Due to this, no one was a backbencher, but everyone was getting a chance to become a frontbencher. This film shows the story of a backbencher who suggests a U-shaped seating arrangement during school elections.

The message also came from a school in Punjab.

Director of the Malayalam film 'Sthanarthi Sreekuttan', Vinesh Vishwanathan, said that he had received a message from a school principal in Punjab. After watching the film, he not only adopted this model of classroom in his school, but also showed this movie to all the students. This film is available on OTT and everyone is liking it a lot. Experimental teaching is also expected to get a boost due to the space in the class. Anand Mahindra has also praised this setting by tweeting.
