Free preparatory classes for SSLC supplementary exams

A non-profit is organising free preparation classes for students who were not able to pass their SSLC exams.

The programme, called ‘Mission NoDropOut’, is by Active Bengaluru Foundation. It began on May 6, and will run until May 25. It already has around 1,000 students training across 22 centres in the city. The centres are located in areas such as Begur, Neelasandra, Padarayanapura, Hegdenagar, D J Halli, Shivajinagar, and Shampur, among others. 

Tauseef Ahmed, director and volunteer with the foundation, says: “The exam papers went through a strict correction procedure this year. No grace marks were given. The subjects students have failed in are mostly Kannada, mathematics and science.”

One can enrol for classes for these subjects, and other subjects like social science, English and Hindi. “Students have registered through their schools or by themselves, after seeing posters about these classes,” he says.  

The preparation will follow the ‘pass package’ format, which focuses on important topics of the syllabus. They will also “go over common questions that have appeared in the past exams over a decade”, says Ahmed. 

Each class will be held for four hours daily. Students can enrol for classes until May 25. The SSLC supplementary examinations will start on May 26.
