Today being the result declaration day for all classes, the officials of the Chandigarh education department, accompanied by subject experts and renowned counsellors, visited various schools of the city to meet students, particularly those who failed to do well in the examination.
"Being a parent I have come to realise how I can help my child to become a better human being by inculcating good habits in her by being a role model. We are now confident that we will do our best to help the child to be one of the best students in the school," opined Nawal Kishore, whose child, too, could not get through the Class-VI examination this time.
As a part of the newly started 24 hour examination helpline, the counselling troupe, headed by Saroj Mittal, assistant director, Vocational Education, Chandigarh, interacted with students, their parents and teachers.
"Ours is a team of 20 psychologists and equal number of subject experts, who are running this 24-hour helpline for the past two months. Our endeavour is to deal with the issues of personal grooming and well being of the students, particularly those who were "detained" in the examination. We chose this day because the results of various classes were going to be declared today and the students who did not fare well remain under stress for a long time," said Saroj Mittal.
Most experts feel that professional counselling helps students in identifying their aptitude and enables them to take their failure as a challenge. Dr Kulpreet Dhillon, a renowned child counsellor from the PGI said, "In my view, If a child has improved his past performance, he is a winner. We should not exaggerate the toppers only." Echoing the same views, Dr Adarsh Kohli, additional professor, department of psychology, PGI, said, " It is the parents who also need to be counselled. They, too, sometimes lack in some ways. They should have a constant watch on their children and should plan strategy to deal with the behavioural changes."
