I went to the school office and brought a prospectus. In that prospectus, steps were mentioned for online admission and after I filled out the form I got a notification that my application had been accepted so I took a copy of the form and went for confirmation.
The faculty is very good. They are highly qualified. The faculty makes sure to clear all the doubts any student is having before leaving the class. They are very supportive and always ensure the student that they will help them with their difficulties.
There are very few faculty who lack communication skills and are unable to communicate with the students. The faculty members have not completely adopted new teaching methods and technology. Faculties need to learn different teaching styles so all the students can learn and understand.
The school has a modern infrastructure that provides a comfortable environment for learning. There are classrooms with smart boards and they have libraries and laboratories. All the computers in the computer lab are Fully functional. There are CCTV cameras in all the classrooms and corridors. There is a badminton court, table tennis court, and a playground to promote physical activity among students.
The maintenance is very poor. The projector in a few classes is not working. There are spider webs on the ceiling of the class. There are mosquitos in the corridors. There is a lift in the school but there is no inverter for the lift. The canteen sitting space is very less.
Most of the classes have two class teachers and there are 40 students per class. The teacher-to-student ratio is very good. The teacher also pays more attention to weak students and helps them to cope with their weaknesses. The teachers are very helpful when it comes to problem-solving.
The teacher-to-student ratio is good but the problem is that some classes have only one class teacher and the number of students is more than 40 so this doesn’t allow students to ask questions to the teacher. But some classes have 2 teachers so their teacher-to-student ratio is good enough.
Our school has a student council which helps students to become good leaders. Our school also has a red ribbon club which organizes various competitions for the students. We also have a cultural committee that organizes events for the students.
I would make learning more interactive and incorporate real-world applications to make lessons more relevant. I would like to call a counsellor for students who are mentally disturbed. I would conduct a 30-minute game session every alternate day so that students can take a break from their studies and enjoy with their classmates.
