| What does the Board believe defines the profile of a school? | the quality of transaction of the curriculrm and the value based atmosphere provided to the learners to develop the qualities of the head and heart | Schools need to understand that the profile of the school is not built exclusively on the results produced by them in a public exarnination but is reflected through the quality of transaction of the curriculrm and the value based atmosphere provided to the learners to develop the qualities of the head and heart. While the Board appreciates the need for providing the right mental ambience to the students to appear in a public examination through appropriate academic inputs, it is felt that conduct or Pre-hoard examinations more than once is absolutely unwarranted and undesirable. They do not necessarily give the required results, rather they only add to the mental stress or the learners infusing additional fear. They sometimes tend to develop self- pity, depression and a self-defeating attitude. | 165 | definition | 1.000 | Schools need to understand that the profile of the school is not built exclusively on the results produced by them in a public exarnination but is reflected through the quality of transaction of the curriculrm and the value based atmosphere provided to the learners to develop the qualities of the head and heart. |
