Examinations usually give sleepless nights to students. But teachers of a Government Higher Secondary School in C. Mutlur near Chidambaram have been burning the midnight oil by introducing night classes for students of classes X and XII in the school premises to ensure good results in the public exams.
The night classes commenced a month ago and the GHSS has emerged as a role model by guiding the students to appear for the public exams. Also, they get sundal in the evenings and dinner at school.
Regular classes are held till 4.00 p.m, after which special classes are held for 180 students including 72 girls of classes X and XII from 4.30 to 6.00 p.m. The students are given a daily serving of nutritious Sundal at 6 p.m. followed by a break of 20 minutes. The classes continue till 8 p.m. followed by night tiffin. A group of teachers on rotation stay back with the children in the night.
