Principal’s Address and Concerns
Mrs. Pragya Singh, Principal cum ARO DAV Public Schools, Jharkhand, Zone E, addressed the gathering and expressed her concern that many people, including parents and children, are quick to offer advice but slow to follow it.
She highlighted the issues arising from the choices made for students in class 11, with many being pressured into subjects that may not suit them, resulting in lower academic performance.
The Principal also raised concerns about the trend of enrolling children in coaching classes based on societal pressure rather than considering their individual capabilities.
She noted that there is a reliance on the belief that performance can be improved later, leading to leniency in assessments and promotions, which raises questions about the effectiveness of teaching methods and evaluation criteria.
The school administration urged parents to prioritize education quality over promotion quotas.
Sincere Effort by the School
The orientation program was a sincere effort made by the school to educate parents on how to properly guide and support their children.
It also helped in developing a common teaching strategy and provided parents with suitable follow-up methods to reinforce their children’s learning process.
The program concluded with a Vote of Thanks proposed by Ms Pratibha Singh, PGT.
