WEBINAR-ROLE OF SCHOOLS IN SHAPING STUDENT PROFILES

(MARCH 10, 2023)

 

A webinar on “Role of Schools in Shaping Student Profiles” was held on March 10, 2023 coordinated by EDUDEVS in association with Amrita Vidyapeetham.  The webinar mainly focused on how to guide the secondary and senior secondary students to build a profile or an e-portfolio, which will help them with their admissions into universities.

 

The participants of this webinar were Ms. Anuradha Handa-Principal, G D Goenka Public School, Sector 48, Gurgaon, Ms. Nitina Dua - Student Counsellor, Ms Ruchika-Counsellor, Suncity School, Mr. Sudhir K. from Amrita Vidyapeetham and Ms. Riya- student panelist from DAV school, Sector 49.

 

The webinar dealt with the right amount of exposure to the students from classes VI onwards, where they should be exposed to various disciplines of co-curricular activities and sports, each academic year so that they identify their interests by the time they reach class VIII.  In classes IX and X, if the students are given career wise counselling and guidance, they are in a better frame of mind to take up the subjects of their choice in Class XI.  Classes XI &XII see them research into the subjects of their choice and eventually choose their subjects, leading to professional degrees and personal satisfaction of having made the right and informed choices.

 

This process, explained by Ms. Handa which is being followed by G D Goenka Public School, Sector 48, Gurgaon, was well received by the panelists with fruitful suggestions. Mr. Sudhir K. from Amrita Vidyapeetham explained the graduation and the post-graduation facilities available at the university while Ms. Riya was happy with her choice of subjects at the senior secondary level. 

 

The Webinar ended on a positive note with all the panelists reinstating their belief that earlier exposure to subjects - both academic and co-scholastic, along with career driven insights would help the students in the long run.
