Priol Pragati Manch, an NGO working in field of education, agriculture and human resource development, had organised its annual felicitation of meritorious students at Goa Board exams from constituency of MLA and Minister, Govind Gaude.
At the function, three schools were
recognised for 100% result. The NGO has been helping all the schools in the
area for infrastructure and other educational facilitation. But their success
was commendable for another major reason.
In many top urban schools, 100% result
is achieved by edging out weak students in the 8th class. But the Priol schools
strived to pull in students from underserved communities and empower them to be
better equipped to take on life’s challenges.
It is no
big deal to get success by dropping perceived failures. True success is to
empower each young student in various ways. The success story of a school is in
the students that it retains and helps connect to their potential.
It is an
easy shortcut to push out, but it is unfair and unjust. Surely it is better to
pull in, hold hands and move ahead. 100% should be the effort, not a
manipulated result. 100% should be to benefit all, not show success of only the
privileged few.
Do pay heed to ensure
edged out is none
100% should include
each and everyone!
