LKG, UKG classes to commence in 120 anganwadis this year
Hubballi: In a move to strengthen early childhood education at govt-run anganwadi centres, the women and child welfare department will introduce LKG and UKG classes at 120 centres in the district starting this academic year.
The education department has already initiated similar efforts in govt primary schools. The state govt earlier announced the launch of pre-primary education in various districts, which is now being implemented.
Admitting children to pre-KG has become expensive in private institutions. Today, the obsession with English-medium schools has increased among parents. Parents want their children to study in convents even if they have to work.
This is also causing enrolment in govt schools to decline. Realising this, the Women and Child Welfare Department decided to teach pre-primary education across the state. Through this, it started an effort to attract parents to govt Anganwadis.
There is a rising demand for LKG/UKG in schools among parents, especially in rural areas. To prevent kids from enrolling in private and other schools, the decision was made to start LKG education across the state.

However, the education department has started with pre-KG in more than 100 schools since last year. In the district, PM SHRI schools that have started pre-KG are running at full strength. The classrooms for these children have been designed to be attractive and colourful.
Deputy Director of the Women and Child Welfare Department, Dharwad, Huligemma Kukanur, said that there are 1,622 anganwadis functioning in the district.
The department asked for a list of anganwadis to start pre-KG classes. Therefore, a list of 120 anganwadis has been sent to the govt for approval. Soon, after directions from the govt, the classes will start, she said.
Shobha Karikatti, a contract teacher at PM SHRI School, Amargol, said that in UKG, 35 children and in LKG, 27 children were admitted, running at full strength. Teaching methods are different in private institutions. Activity-based education is our first priority. For that, we revised many toys, materials, flashcards, notes for teachers, etc. Pre-KG teachers will be trained at the District Institute of Education and Training every year.
The English language is also included for children. For the intellectual and mental development of children, activity-based teaching is provided, she said.
