Message
Jharkhand State Open School was intended to be a medium for making education easy
for students who are unable to attend regular classes. The challenge before us was
to make the instructional delivery of curriculum convenient and as effective as
regular classes for the students. It had to be a well planned and organized extended
learning endeavour which allowed students to pursue other activities without affecting
their learning. Reaching out to them through the online medium was an excellent
way to deliver educational resources and nullify the location constraint.
The National policy on Education suggested strengthening of JSOS for extending open
learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary & Sr. Secondary levels all over
the country and abroad as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination
leading to awarding of certificates. This was intended to address the needs of students
or working professionals in India and abroad to further the cause of spreading education.
JSOS offers a viable and convenient approach for education as comprehensive study
material is delivered online after admission. The process of admission is simple
too as students only need to register online and get admitted with the enrollment
number sent right away. The instructional resources made available to the students
are without the bottleneck of language. They have the option to choose the language
of their study material. The results of pass out students are backed by online verification.
Spreading the cause of making education convenient through the internet was a novel
initiative suggested by the National policy on Education and we took this opportunity
to start JSOS. The way our instructional delivery and online facilitation of educational
courses have expanded in India and abroad, it is a fulfillment of our aspiration
to play a pivotal role in making education convenient for students all over the
world.
