Abstracts

This school focused on physical and emotional safety of students. As the students
belong to Mizo Tribe, the school maintains preservation of Mizo Culture, hence cultural
programmes are organised from time to time as part of the school culture. As English is
the medium of instruction in the secondary school level, students coming from Mizo
medium face problems in teaching – learning process at the beginning. Teachers, staff
and families of the students are encouraged to work together in order to fully prepare
their students to feel sense of belonging and connectedness to their school and to
feeling safe and confident in this environment. The school provides skill training with
benefits for students. Vocational training programmes allow students to get ready for
specific careers. There is a high level of trust between school head and teachers to try
out new strategies.

Socio-Cultural Context of the School

A parent‘s socio-economic status plays a significant impact on the relative educational outcome

of the children. And it is established that the socio – economic status of individual students is
strongly associated with academic achievement. However, in our school, the parents having low

socio – economic status send their children to receive education. Their socio-economic status can
be checked through their belongings, activities and documents like BPL Ration Card, Income

Certificate, NREGS, etc. They mostly belong to the Backward Classes except, for very few

parents that belongs to the middle socio-economic status. But this differences and inequalities in
their socio–economic status does not affect the educational outcome of their children since our

school ensures that the students gets equal opportunity in teaching-learning process irrespective
of their caste, creed, gender, economic status, class, etc. in order to attain their educational

outcome and achievement.
