A school has begun using QR codes placed beneath plant pictures to deliver digital lessons, obliging pupils to bring their smartphones to class.
The institution has integrated QR codes into its science curriculum, attaching them to visual displays of various plants. When scanned with a smartphone, each code links to a short video or interactive module that explains the plant's characteristics, growth cycle, and ecological role.
Teachers say the approach aims to make learning more engaging and to bridge the gap between textbook theory and real‑world observation. By leveraging devices that most students already own, the school hopes to foster self‑directed study and improve retention.
To implement the system, the school has issued a directive that all students must carry a mobile phone to class. Parents were informed of the policy through a circular, and the administration has assured that the content accessed via the QR codes is vetted for age‑appropriateness and curriculum relevance.
