29. RESULTS OF DATA ANALYSIS
Population is unanimous that
students do have a variety of
incompetence issues
There are various causes of this
problem but the major cause is
TEACHER
30. Teachers are not innovative in their teaching
Lecturing is a norm. Activity based learning is non-
existent
A section of teachers is dishonest. They do not love their
students. No learning community exists.
Principals ignore academic side.
Parents do not care to visit schools/colleges
Examination system is outdated and does not assess
life-empowering skills
31. Initiation of empowering programmes such as SQC
Bazme-Adab , Guidance Groups Revival
Career Counseling
Weekly and Monthly Quizzes
Students’ Motivation
Teachers’ punctuality
Use of Computer and Multimedia for teaching
Study tours
Invitation to Experts for Special Talk
Abolition of Guides
Introduction of Text Books
32. STRATEGIES FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLUTIONS.
Short Term (Practicable)
An Awareness Campaign for
Parents Students Teachers
Long Term (Impracticable)
Education System (Paper Pattern, Invigilation,
Grading System, Variety of Syllabi, etc) needs a
thorough overhauling
33. Meetings with students on the campus
Special Session with the Principal
Shared findings with the teachers
Shared research findings with parents
34. Principal called an immediate meeting in staff
room and directed teachers to implement the
solution
Concept of houses was immediately introduced.
Career counseling on CSS,PMS,ISSB etc was
boosted
A meeting of teachers was called in Director of
Students Room to reconsider teacher’s role
35. A marked change was observed in the behavior
of teachers
Special English Language classes were arranged
from 8 am to 9 am
Students who wished to join Defence Forces
were provided free coaching from 1 pm to 2 pm
Access to Internet was relaxed
36. Complete solution was not possible
because of other factors beyond our
reach such as Examination system
However, we have set the ball rolling
for next shining stars
37. The research enabled us to contribute our bit
to the mission of WCTQEE

Had a chance to visit Private schools
39. Benefits of SQC

skills

Self-image improved
Built stamina to work in stress
Teachers’ gave us respect when they noticed us
working independently
Pleasure of activity based learning
40. A SPECIAL OBSERVATION
It was a novel experience.
Brainstorming sessions were not less
than a treat for us. We got rid of spoon-
feeding ,at least,for one month. For the
first time in our academic career did we
do critical thinking.
41. We owe a debt of gratitude to
Modernage School and College
For being a kind host to an economically
deprived guest. We can only repay your
hospitality in the form of sincere prayers.
