Title of the Practice: Catering Structured Exposure to Higher Education in the Neighbourhood
Objectives of the Practice:
The Context:
After completing their secondary and higher secondary examinations, school students often face a deluge of career choices and struggle to make informed decisions aligned with their aptitude, qualifications, and priorities. Many lack the necessary information or exposure, leading them to follow popular streams due to parental or peer pressure. Misguided career choices often result in dissatisfaction and failure.
The Practice:
Panchakot Mahavidyalaya recognizes the need for structured exposure to higher education and strives to support local secondary and higher secondary students. By creating a constructive interface between school and higher education, the institution aims to provide guidance on educational and career-related issues. This initiative optimally utilizes available infrastructure and manpower, fostering a mutually beneficial partnership. College students participating as mentors gain leadership skills and credentials.
Evidence of Success:
Numerous students have visited various laboratories (Computer Science, Physics, Zoology, Chemistry, Botany, Geography), exposing them to higher education facilities and motivating them to pursue further studies. Tours of the computer centre, library, gymnasium, canteen, and classrooms helped students understand the resources available. The campus flora and fauna highlighted environmental considerations in higher education. Students from neighbouring schools attended sensitization seminars on career opportunities and participated in talent-hunt programs.
