Principal Urges Learning Over Marks in Board Exams
A principal at The Heritage School has written a letter to her Class X students, telling them that marks are not the most important thing.
She says they should focus on learning, working together, and being creative instead of just trying to get good grades.
She also says they should play sports, socialize, and have fun.
The school is trying to help students balance their studies with other activities, even though some parents might push their children to focus only on exams.
The principal wants students to learn how to handle different challenges in life, not just pass exams.
Principal Seema Sapru urges students to focus on learning and teamwork over marks.
The Heritage School emphasizes creativity, physical activity, and socializing over rote learning.
CBSE and CISCE mandate 75% attendance for board exams with exceptions for medical and sports reasons.
Sapru advises parents to let children learn naturally through experiences and interactions.
The new national education policy aims to balance practice and theory in higher education.
