Pune, June 27: The city witnessed 84.21 per cent of successful candidates in SSC, implying that there are 2,71,721 students who couldn’t manage to get through.
In an initiative to help these students get over their failure and create an optimistic approach towards their future, Maharashtra Education Society (MES) and Ahmednagar Shaharwasiya Mitra Mandal have organised Himmat Shaala, a school where the students will be taught the basic syllabus along with motivational techniques.
“The reason for their failure is not lack of efforts or low IQ levels, but lack of guidance. We plan to provide them the same so that they can do better in October exams,” said Shriram Waman Kulkarni, director, MES Shikshan Prabodhini.
As part of the programme, lectures will be organised from July 7, 6 am to 9 am during weekdays at Vimlabai Garware High School, Deccan. Maximum 100 students will be given admission with a nominal fee of Rs 500 per student.
