The Story in Brief
The Bihar School Examination Board has announced three major initiatives: an alumni portal called Mera Vidyalaya, Mera Swabhiman, an expansion of free JEE/NEET coaching to 146 more model schools, and a 24×7 interactive e-learning platform for 688 model schools. The portal will let alumni, NRIs, NGOs, and corporates adopt or support government schools. The coaching expansion will initially use recorded video lectures until a central digital studio becomes operational.
The 24×7 e-learning app, launching August 15, will allow students from Classes 9 to 12 to ask questions and get live teacher responses. The Chairman of BSEB, Dr. Tyagarajan S.M., presented these plans at a training camp attended by Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari and district officials. All services will be free.
The Indian Opinion
The announcements sound ambitious, but Bihar's education system has a long history of grand plans falling short. The free coaching currently reaches only 200 residential and 450 non-residential students a year, a drop in a very large ocean. Expanding via online classes risks excluding students without reliable internet or devices. The key test will be whether the digital studio starts on time and whether schools actually upload their needs on the portal, not just glossy press releases.
