After training they were asked to collect the SURVEY MATERIALS from Raja Shivaji Shala, Dadar (E) on 24th March 2022.Each FI ( Field Investigator) was alloted with a number of Survey Materials. The survey was conducted at AIR INDIA MODERN SCHOOL, SANTACRUZ. 10 students from Std 3 were evaluated on 25th and 28th of March 2022. Each child would have to answer the question within 1 hour either orally or in written form. On 29th March 2022, the Survey Materials (complete) were submitted in TARABAI MODAK ADHYAPAK VIDHYALAY , DADAR (E) to the respective authorities. Students were very enthusiastic and curious to attempt a new form of examination.
In the academic year 2021-2022 Out of school survey was done from 2nd March to 15th March. In this survey teachers had to look out for children not enrolled in school in the age group of 3 to 18 yrs, who were deprived from online and offline learning process and migrated to other places. Teachers were allotted different areas for the Survey . The report was then submitted to the department.
Vipassana , which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e.,an Art of Living. The technique of Vipassana Meditation is a ten-day residential course in which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. A meditation session by MITRA - Mind in Training for Awareness was organized by Education department (BMC) for the BMC and private aided teachers. This offline session was conducted at different venues as per the ward. The teachers attended this session in the timeslot given to them. It was a very calming, soothing experience. A Vipassana pamplet and circular was given. The circular states that with the permission of the school management, a teacher can avail Vipassana training with paid leave and free of cost. At the end of the session,a feedback form was given to share our experiences. The session ended with the serving of breakfast to all the participants.
Students of all ages enjoy and benefit from outings, visits and field trips. We at SIES (Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial) High School planned various outings to provide students an opportunity to grasp and retain concepts. This develops confidence and teamwork.
