: A government school in the district has raised the bar in involvement of parents in academic activity by roping them in as invigilators for examinations.
The Government Higher Secondary School, Kokkallur has assigned as many as 30 parents, who have been tasked with the supervision of the ongoing SSLC unit tests.
The parent-invigilators, selected from the school support group, were provided prior training on how to supervise the examination and about following the required instructions for conducting the exams.
The school authorities plan to have parent invigilators for other school-level examinations in Class X, except the public examinations.
“We launched the initiative as part of efforts to enhance the participation of parents in academic activities at the school. The parent-invigilators have been a successful in ensuring smooth and orderly conduct of examinations and students have reciprocated by maintaining good discipline in the examination hall,” P Pushparajan, headmaster of the school, said.
He said that with parents taking up the role of exam supervisors, there seems to be a psychological factor at work as the students seemed to take extra care to maintain discipline in the exam hall and to ensure that the parents didn’t face any troubles.
“It has also helped to ensure 100% punctuality on the part of students. We are planning to expand it to Class-IX also,” N K Balan Nair, English teacher at the school, said, adding that the respective teacher invigilator assigned to a particular class for the monthly tests remained stationed outside the classroom to intervene, if any need arises.
