.:: Management of learning Time::.

KGBV's daily schedule envisaged as:

  Monday - Friday
  0800 - 1000: Classes
  1030 - 1230: Classes
  1400 - 1600: Classes
  Free Time
  1830 - 2000: Evening sessions (Social learning + self study)

  On Saturdays
  Morning session: Evaluation, 'catch up time', co-curricular activities, self-study, exploration, etc.
  Post lunch session: Social learning
  No evening session

For formal classes: 30 hrs per week
A total of 32 weeks likely to be available (excluding time for other activities)
Two weeks for Readiness Programme
Thus, 30 weeks X 30 hrs/week = 900 hrs available through Year 1

Based on priority and curricular requirements, the time distribution for 900 hrs is as follows (for class 6):

Time Distribution:

Academic support schedule is being developed for Class 6 in 3 phases, Packages 1, 2 & 3. Each package includes curriculum, methods / learning experiences, materials, evaluation, and teacher training.

Pkg 1 (2 months) focussed on Hindi, Maths, English, Science and Social Studies - this provided scope for revision of primary, as well as provided a solid foundation for further studies in all subjects.

Pkg 2 focussed on issues of social learning, content and recap of the first.

Pkg 3 & 4 is based on need assessment and will cover Class 7 & 8.

Many subjects that appear to have less time have actually been supported through the general living / working in KGBV (e.g. agriculture, home science). In particular, physical education will be incorporated in the free time, and other proposed activities.
