Screen-Free Coding Revolutionizes Punjab Schools
Guru Harkrishan Public School (GHPS), GT Road, Amritsar, has set a new benchmark in primary education. It’s the first school in Punjab to implement a screen-free coding curriculum.
This innovative approach, piloted across four Chief Khalsa Diwan schools, focuses on developing foundational 21st-century skills. The program eschews digital devices entirely, emphasizing hands-on learning.
The initiative aims to nurture creativity and problem-solving skills in young learners. By avoiding screen time at a crucial developmental stage, the school hopes to promote holistic development.
This pioneering effort by GHPS could influence educational practices across the state. Its success could pave the way for a wider adoption of screen-free coding in Punjab’s primary schools, addressing concerns about excessive screen time among children. The impact on children’s cognitive development and overall well-being will be keenly observed.
