He said, parents are expected to help elementary stage students to implement this Calendar.

The calendar contains week-wise plan consisting of interesting and challenging activities, with reference to theme and chapter taken from syllabus or textbook. 

It maps the themes with the learning outcomes and its purpose is to facilitate teachers and parents to assess the progress in the learning of children and also to go beyond textbooks.

The activities given in the calendar focus on learning outcomes and can thus be achieved through any resource including the textbooks children are using in their state.
