BHUBANESWAR:
With Class X and XII board exams hardly a month away, schools in the city are
busy conducting doubt clearing sessions and taking extra classes for students.
WhatsApp groups, house visits, mentorship and mock tests are being taken by
city schools to ready students for the board examinations.
However,
teachers and students feel they don't get adequate time as the examination has
been pre-poned this year. The board examinations are starting from February 15
instead of the usual March first week.
"Though
courses have already been completed, revisions, doubt-clearing and practice of
sample question papers require more time. If students do not get adequate time
for practicing then their confidence level will get affected," said Prajna
Paramita Mishra, a teacher in a city school.
Besides
by conducting the practical board examinations in January instead of February
has again reduced the preparation time for students which otherwise would have
been used for revision classes.
Teachers
in DAV Public School, Chandrasekharpur, said apart from doubt clearing sessions
they are conducting very similar tests and making them practice as many
question banks. "Apart from CBSE sample papers, our teachers have also
prepared question banks for students to practice. The tests are highly
beneficial for slow learners. Teachers have been asked to WhatsApp groups and
to address doubts of students immediately. Besides, there is zero mark test
where scoring will be done in minus and the highest mark is zero," said
Debendra Pati, senior teacher of the school.
Due to
shortage of time many schools are also conducting extra classes during
Saturdays. "The board examinations have been preponed by almost 15 days
but revisions have to be done within the time. Teachers are asking us to come
to school on Saturdays and holidays too. There are also model examinations
which we have to attend before the board examinations," said Rakesh Pani,
student of Class X.
"We
have assigned 10 students under one mentor or teacher, who will look after the
doubts and revisions of those students. Besides there are regular practice and
mock tests going on for students besides counselling sessions to reduce their
stress and boost their confidence level before the examinations," said
Sarat Kar, spokesperson of SAI International School.
