The government of Haryana has come up with a unique initiative for the students of the state, wherein temples, mosques, and gurudwaras have been asked to make announcements for students of classes 10 and 12 to wake up early.
This initiative has been implemented months ahead of the board exams that will be conducted in March next year.
Temples, Mosques, Gurudwaras To Wake Up Students Early For Exam Preparations
The Haryana government has requested announcements by temples, mosques, and gurdwaras to wake up students of classes 10 and 12 early so they can prepare for their board exams, which will be held in March of next year. This is part of a move to improve the pass percentage of schools.
As per the letter issued by Director (secondary education) Anshaj Singh to all government school principals and district education officers, “Temples, mosques and gurdwaras should be approached for early morning announcements (through loudspeakers) so that students get up and start studying. With this, each student is expected to get additional two to three hours (for studies).”
The state’s department of education has also directed the relevant school administrations to ask parents to wake up their children at 4.30 am so that they can use the early morning hours for preparation.
Teachers To Check Whatsapp Groups If Students Are Awake or Not
The department emphasized that a joint plan be created by parents and teachers so that students get some extra hours for self-study in a communication to all government school principals.
Additionally, to find out if the students are awake and studying or not, the teachers will also check WhatsApp groups. Bring it to the attention of the school management committee if parents are not cooperating.
The village panchayat members have also been tasked by the education department to create a conducive environment for learning in their communities in the early morning hours.
The letter also stated that creating a suitable environment for exam preparation falls under the collective responsibility of the entire society. It also added that societies can only advance a country if they support children’s education.
