CM Schools of Excellence Transform Learning Approach for Board Exam Preparation
In a significant educational initiative across Jharkhand, the CM Schools of Excellence are revolutionizing their academic methodology to better prepare students for upcoming board examinations. The comprehensive strategy emphasizes conceptual-based learning and innovative teaching approaches that move beyond traditional rote memorization techniques.
Building Strong Academic Foundations
The program specifically aims to strengthen students' fundamental understanding of subjects while reducing dependence on memorization. Through carefully designed structured revision schedules and practice-oriented learning modules, educators are fostering analytical thinking capabilities among students. School authorities report that teachers are placing unprecedented emphasis on concept clarity, with daily classroom activities now incorporating systematic revision plans, dedicated doubt-clearing sessions, and comprehensive practice worksheets.
Comprehensive Exam Preparation Strategy
The initiative includes multiple components designed to build student confidence and competence. Regular mock tests and answer-writing exercises help students identify their strengths and weaknesses, while special attention is given to developing time-management skills and exam-oriented strategies. According to Yashmin Galaria, principal of ASTVS District CM SOE, "Our focus is to ensure that students clearly understand concepts rather than memorising answers. Through regular revision, analytical exercises, and mock tests, we are preparing them to face board exams with confidence and clarity."
Targeted Support for All Students
Recognizing diverse learning needs, schools are implementing targeted support mechanisms. S M Omair, school manager at TVS, explained, "To support academically weak students, schools are identifying three to four comparatively easy and scoring chapters in each subject to help them build confidence." Additionally, regular remedial classes provide simplified concept explanations, fundamental revision sessions, and extra practice opportunities for students requiring additional assistance.
Positive Student Response and Reduced Stress
Students have responded positively to the new approach, reporting reduced exam-related anxiety and improved understanding. Meher Parveen, a Class XII student, shared, "We used to memorise answers, but teachers explain concepts in detail and conduct regular revisions. Mock tests and answer-writing practice helped me understand my weak areas and improve." The student-centric methodology not only prepares students for immediate examination success but also aims for long-term academic growth and conceptual mastery across all subjects.
