Dr. Baby Sam Saamuel, Chairman – Board of Directors congratulated the students who have made their alma mater and parents proud with outstanding results. He lauded the unflinching support of schools that have conducted remedial classes for the academically weak students and made all efforts to set higher benchmark of success in the Board Exams.
“As a system, Indian Schools in Oman have been implementing various measures to provide academic assistance, over and above the classroom lessons while placing equal emphasis on their overall health and wellbeing. We shall continue to strengthen the core academics and competence of our children, and are proud to achieve higher milestones in each passing year. Congratulations to all the children, parents and their schools for their hard work and efforts, wish all of them many more successes in life,” said Dr. Baby Sam Saamuel, speaking on the occasion.
The Indian Schools do not put any restriction on admissions and every child who seeks admission finds a place irrespective of academic performance. In addition to the lessons imparted during school hours, the schools have implemented multiple initiatives, as support mechanism for children. These include Remedial Classes, Virtual Learning Environment, Tele-tutoring, Gurukul, 24-7-365 Tele-counseling etc.
The Indian Schools in Oman Virtual Learning Environment (ISO-VLE), an online portal initiated by the Board, helped the students to be reinforced with the different concepts of their syllabus. The video recordings of lessons as well as other resource materials available in the portal were extensively used by the students. Teachers also made persistent efforts to enhance the academic levels of children by providing remedial and additional coaching on off days and evening hours. During the weeks leading up to the final examinations, nominated subject experts were available on call, via telephone and WhatsApp, to clarify doubts and provide additional academic support during designated hours.
The concept of ‘Gurukul’ introduced in many of the Indian Schools in the interior regions have helped the students to perform well in their board exams. Children stayed in schools for almost a month before the board exams and the teachers meticulously monitored and assisted their studies day in and day out. This has certainly enhanced the confidence level of students and enabled them to come out in flying colours.
The Indian Schools also provide an innovative 24-7-365 tele-counseling service aimed at reducing the emotional stress of children. The service was especially impactful during the examination months.
