Armed with these major findings, we worked out our strategy to go from Strength to Strength.
Our strategy revolved around making the school more of a family than an Institute. Hence, we did the
following:
While recruiting the teachers, along with the Requisite Educational Qualification, we insisted on
persons who were Passionate about Teaching; who were ready to go
That EXTRA MILE to be a Friend, a Guide and a Philosopher to the Student.
We did not hesitate to enroll even the weakest of a weak student.
Designed a Plan for the year, which was loaded with co-curricular activities along with very
Focused academics.
With all the above, we started the implementation.
It was a part of the teachers‘ schedule, that they should visit the students‘ homes, interact with the
members of the family and develop a sort of rapport with the parents.
This not only helped us to earn the confidence of the family but also gave us the insight into the
background, environment at home and problems if any. We were one of the pioneers to take up such
activity, highly appreciated by One and Sundry.
This activity created a Feeling of Belonging amongst the Parents and went a long way in helping us
RETAIN the students and also generated Goodwill which in turn helped in NEW ENROLMENTS.
As we had decided to take up the academically weak students, we had to spend EXTRA TIME and
put in EXTRA EFFORTS to get them through the Exams.
Remedial Classes became a part of our Routine.
