“Earlier, students used to think that the teachers would only focus on smart, outspoken kids. Our interaction with those students who were hesitant or spoke less in class also increased significantly because of EMC class. And now these students come up to me without hesitation and share their doubts. That is how EMC class has brought a positive change among students and it reflects in the results of other subjects,” said Rajkumari, Economics teacher, SK No.1 , Narela
“Our kids are no more ashamed to be called a part of SKVs. The stigma has been removed and the credit goes to our students who have been continuously outperforming private school students too,” said Shilpi , Chemistry Teacher, SKV No1, Narela.
