The Punjab Education Department has launched a computer-aided learning (CAL) programme in primary and upper primary schools in the state with an interactive approach of learning by play-way methods to improve the grasping power of students.

Stating this here on Sunday, Education Minister Upinderjit Kaur said the CAL programme was started under the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) project to establish an environment for teaching and learning and to combine learning with play. Besides, the programme makes learning interesting and joyful by breaking pressure and the monotonous teaching system.
