Old
timers will recall that the First Public Examination for the students used to
be at Class XI – those who passed would join PUC in College and those days, the
State First used to secure a little over 400 out of 500 - a time when securing more than 80% was
considered the ultimate !! .. recall that in 1977, MK Raman of our school (The
Hindu High School, Big Street, Triplicane) secured 407/500 and was State 4th
– photo of him with a beaming smile
appeared in newspapers .. .. Those were the times when Newspapers would roll
out special editions containing the Roll No. of those Candidates who passed the
Examination. It was ‘all numbers’ and
those Special Supplements would sell like hot cakes…….. students, parents, near
and dear would be elated to see their Registration No. appearing on the
newspaper – it was a time to celebrate and so they would buy toffees and
distribute ! – simple life …
Now the education till 5th
Standard is Primary and upto X is Secondary .. .. Tamil
Nadu Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) or Class 10th exam results have
been declared this day. This SSLC
Certificate was a very important document and served as date of birth proof and
more for very many years.
I have been posting about
our full-time tuition centre SYMA Growth providing quality tuition free to
under-privileged children. SYMA Growth
students hand-picked from lower strata of society have done well. The Academic year 2018-19 was
11th year of SYMA
Growth. Our students did
exceeding well in +2 with ‘all pass’ – making us proud. [15 of them in Science group and 28 in
Commerce group] Our Student Ms Varsha
is the topper in Science with 545 out of 600.
4 of them got above 400; 9 students are in the bracket 300-400. In the Commerce group, the topper is
Pugazhenthi 506/600. 6 got more than 400
and 12 above 300.
o
o
Tamil Nadu State Board X
Standard results have been announced today.
For X we had Tamil Medium and English
medium classes.
o
In + 2 – we had cent %
results. In X our students have
performed well too.
o
In English medium out of
24 / 23 have passed (the other one is being checked) – our Growth topper is Ms
Harini with 427/500 & Ms Jeevitha secured 418/500.
o
In Tamil medium, (which
perhaps represents the poorest of poor in the society) – of 13 students – 12 have passed.
The topper is Ms Afrin Banu with 318/500.
o
SYMA greets them all .. ..
As you may know now, there
is no State level ranking !!! -
State-level ranks will not be released this year as well to ensure that
students don’t get disheartened by an unhealthy competition. “We have done away
with the ranking system as even one mark will cause serious distress,” said an
Official. Students, who have not done well in the exams, should not get too
stressed, is the view point.He said that parents, who notice unusual behaviour
or sadness in their wards, should use the helpline immediately. But is that not a disincentive to those who
perform well .. .. .. because KX1 / MI /
RCB fail to qualify should we not speak of champions CSK ?
The success of SYMA Growth
in uplifting the students from lower echelons of society is fully because of
the untiring efforts of teachers of SYMA Growth. SYMA places on record our profound
thanks to the Management of NK
Thirumalachariyar National Boys High School, Mr S. Venkatadri, HM, NKT Boys
High School, our beloved teachers of SYMA Growth, Mrs Thara, and the
volunteers. Special
appreciations are due to M/s Manpower Group India and Mr PV Venkatesan – for
their support in fully-funding this project for the 3rd continuous year.
We would also like to
mention the efforts of Mr Durai and Mr TJ Ramani in visiting the facility daily
and in the conduct of full-fledged model exams in all subjects. There are so many of you, who have
contributed in the success of Growth and a BIG THANKS to you ALL.
Queue for applications last year !
The next academic year will
be our 12th year of Operations and together we will strive to continue to educate
the students. The application forms for
the next Academic year at SYMA Growth are scheduled to be issued on Sunday, 5th
of May 2019 at NKT National Boys High School @ 09.30 am.
With regards – S.
