Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) is set to launch the fourth edition of its educational reality show, ‘Haritha Vidyalayam’ in December. The initiative aims to showcase the achievements and best practices of the State’s public education sector on a national platform. According to an official release, government and aided schools are invited to apply for the programme by November 15. Applications are sought separately for primary schools and high school/higher secondary school categories. Those interested can apply through the portal www.hv.kite.kerala.gov.in. Schools will be selected for the preliminary round based on various crucial parameters, including academic and co-curricular activities, infrastructural facilities, social participation, digital education integration, recognised accolades and innovative school-specific activities. The primary objective of the programme is to recognise creative and exemplary work carried out by schools, bring them to the public’s attention, share these successful models with other institutions, and ultimately raise the overall standard of public education.
