Abstract

Government Upper Primary School Puracherry is situated in the Madayi educational district within the Kannur district of Kerala. The school comprises 322 students and 18 teachers, offering classes from 1st to 7th standard. During the Covid- 19 pandemic, the government declared lockdown measures, resulting in the closure of schools. During this period, "First Bell," an initiative of the General Education Department of Kerala, was launched on June 1, 2020, serving as an interim solution while state public schools remained closed. Throughout the academic year 2020-21, Government Upper Primary School Puracherry implemented numerous innovative programs aimed at ensuring that no student missed classes during the pandemic, all while monitoring the safe stay of children at home. The investigator intends to study the educational, economic, technological, and social aspects of the quality-sustaining practices of Government Upper Primary School Puracherry. The study sample includes 4 teachers, 4 parents, and 4 students from Government Upper Primary School Puracherry. The findings revealed that the majority of students and parents favored these qualitysustaining practices, with approximately 80% of children ensuring their access to classes. This study is limited to one school in Kerala, but its findings can benefit educationalists, curriculum developers, teachers, parents, and students in other schools across India.
