Usually the beginning of the new financial year from April blooms the coaching industry that are fully charged and ready to welcome the future of India. But this year due to the lockdown, all education institutions have been kept close. The coaching institutes that were busy in nurturing young talents of India in helping them achieve their desired goals are now on the verge of shutting down. During such a crisis, it was only apt to transform from offline mode to online method of education. Being a renowned name in the test prep industry, Pratham Education Foundation is among the few players in the market who anticipated this shift at the right time and also implemented it with aplomb.
The timely transformation
Known for providing quality education to its student, Pratham Education Foundation is always at the forefront to tackle any challenge, and this time the challenge is gigantic. While it is not easy to make a sudden and smooth transition from offline mode to online mode, but with involvement of a determined technical team, smooth transformation was possible. The qualified counsellors are taking these webinars and shaping the thoughts and dreams of the students into reality.
The PSIS saviour – Pratham Education Foundation always been suggesting its students to develop a habit of studying online. The online portal Pratham Student Information System (PSIS) was developed keeping this in mind. Live interactive classes with high rated technology will be given to all the students from the highly dedicated in-house faculty. It will give you a seamless immersive experience through the PSIS. The students are constantly encouraged to go online and refer to practice material, but amongst the time of COVID-19 it became more relevant and was used optimally.
Optimised and comprehensive study material – It was a challenge to ensure that every student has got the material in time and to digitise it so that students can use it promptly without hassles. It was created and developed to suit online studies.
Test series – The exams were scheduled, postponed, and rescheduled. Many colleges and universities changed their exam patterns and the organisation has modified according to the changed pattern.
Increased number of hours – Known for the rigorous schedules and extensive classroom sessions, it has already provided 500+ hours of teaching and is still counting.
Individual mentoring – One of the major concerns of parents is attention to students. Taking pride that online mode has not hindered its unique advantage which is student mentorship. An initiative was taken where personalised mentorship was provided to the students to solve not only academic doubts but also, take care of their mental health by counselling and motivating them to stay positive.
Increased doubt clearing sessions – Another concern of parents and students is doubt clearing for which has Pratham Education Foundation provided various ways to the students to clear doubts. Special sessions were organised to clear the doubts for the clarity of all the concepts.
Being visionary in providing a platform to the students and constantly transforming itself for the best experience to the students. In accordance to that we have always restructured and re-engineered ways for an absolute understanding of concepts and excel in the desired field.
