The Kozhikode office of Samagra Shiksha Kerala will launch a project to offer swimming training for differently abled students from the district.
Titled Building Elegant Attitude Through Swimming (BEATS), the project was meant to equip the students to handle natural disasters and enhance their life skills, said SSK officials on Sunday. They claimed that such a project was being implemented under the General Education department for the first time in Kerala.
The training sessions will begin on September 1, and 100 students will be included in the first phase. Visually impaired students from high schools and higher secondary schools within the Kozhikode Corporation would be given priority in the initial stage, they added. Both girls and boys may participate in the programme. Each batch will have 10 students.
