JAMMU: As per the CBSE guidelines, all the schools of Jammu region are conducting the Half yearly exams for their students in the second fortnight of September, 2022.
After 2 years of havoc caused by COVID -19, now students are writing their half-yearly exams. It’s truly said, “when going gets tough, then tough gets going”. Now adjusting their oars, students have set their sail under the guidance of their teachers and parents. Principal JKPS Kunjwani Rajesh Rathore appreciated students for taking the Half yearly exams in the right perspective. He stated, “Adversities introduce a man to himself. Online exams caused laxity in children. Keeping themselves away from the inspiring presence of teachers, students lost their acquired skills pertaining to hand writing, writing skills, computation skills, scientific skills, artistic skills etc”.
“Pressure of performance in the Half-yearly exams made students gear up and tighten their belts. They started rising earlier than their routine wake up. Morning alarm bell from the neighbourhood households has now become a routine affair. Parents stopped chasing their wards for the revision work in the core subjects. Even Sundays and other holidays witnessed longer sittings of children during different time slots”, Principal shared with a broad smile on his face.
Reflecting on the scenario prevailing around during Half-yearly exams, Shashi Rattan Vice Principal JKPS Kunjwani shared, “There is better attendance of students in Sr. Secondary classes. Even students are approaching her to seek permission to discuss the concepts in variety subjects during their library period, Games period and Assembly period. Parents are calling up to share their joy on the changed perception of their wards regarding studies”.
Associate Vice Principal Roopinder Kour appreciated students of Grades III to V for showing a great deal of sincerity and requesting teachers to provide extra worksheets related to their subjects. “They are also submitting the extra notebooks, wherein they are attempting extra questions. Though the checking of extra questions is time-consuming for teachers, yet they are happy to see the sense of initiative and dedication in their students”, she further added.
School Coordinator Inderjeet Kour lauded the endeavours of teachers and students for the Half-yearly exams. She said, “Students of Grades VI to VIII have been showing tremendous improvement right from the declaration of Periodic-1 results. Since students have promised their teachers and parents to show a qualitative improvement in their performance, so they are giving their heart and soul to their endeavours”.

She expressed her satisfaction over the consistent efforts being made by students under the patronage of their teachers.
