The Haryana government wants early announcements to be made in temples, mosques and gurudwaras to wake up class 10th and 12th students so that they can prepare for their board exams in the coming March.

The state education department has asked the concerned school authorities to ask parents to wake up their children at 4.30 am so that the morning time can be utilized for preparation.

In a letter sent to the principals of all government schools, the department stressed that a joint plan should be made by parents and teachers so that students get some extra hours for self-study.

Morning time is most suitable for this. At that time the mind remains fresh and there is no noise of vehicles. For this, every class teacher should request the parents to wake up their children at 4:30 am and ask them to sit till 5:15 am to study.

Teachers will also inquire through WhatsApp groups whether students are awake and studying or not. If the parents are not cooperating then it should be brought to the notice of the School Management Committee.

The education department has also asked the panchayat members in the villages to ensure that there is an atmosphere of study in the morning hours in their villages.

“Temples, mosques and gurudwaras should be approached for morning announcements (through loudspeakers) so that students can get up and start studying. With this, each student is expected to get an additional two to three hours (for studies),” director (secondary education) Anshaj Singh said in a letter to all government school principals and district education officers.

The letter further states that it is the collective responsibility of the entire society to provide proper environment for the preparation of the examination. Only societies which provide help in the education of children contribute to the progress of the nation.

In the letter issued on December 22, school principals were reminded that only 70 days were left for the board exams and an action plan was also asked to improve the board exam results.
