The West Bengal education department is all set to roll out a new initiative – ‘Paray Sikshalay’ (neighborhood school) — under which primary and pre-primary students of state-run schools will be given lessons in open spaces, an official here said on Sunday. The project, having received the approval of state secretariat Nabanna’, would be roping in para-teachers and primary school teachers to impart elementary education to students of classes 1 to 5.

Besides elementary education, students would be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities such as elocution and painting, the official added.
