5 Reasons To Choose Boarding School Over Day School

Every parent wants their children to get the best education and try to enrol them in the best private school they can. But in present times when everyone lives in a nuclear family, can parents provide the extra care and guidance that child needs at the starting growing years of his life; when both the parents are busy earning to fulfil basic needs. Whereas, letting your child leave the comfort of home and surviving alone out in this wide world seems like a tough decision for both parents and kids. At the same time, the distance could work in the favour of your child because boarding schools not only provide the best education but takes care of the child as their own. There is a certain misconception about how residential schools can spoil the children, but those were the old days, and we have come a long way since then, and now it’s time to take a new step.

It is easy to choose a nearby good private school for your children’s education but don’t confuse literacy with education because the nearby school could only make them literate where the children will always live in a cocoon built by their parents, at the end of the day after completing their day in school. This is the reason, why it becomes essential to find top residential schools in India instead of day schools so that your children could grow into more confident, responsible, and successful individuals.

Learning to be Independent and Self-Reliant

This is one of the major reasons why parents prefer enrolling their children in boarding schools rather than day schools. In day schools children tend to live a sheltered life while relying on their parents for even the smallest chores because they are not accustomed to doing it themselves. Whereas, the boarding schools’ students are self-reliant in every sense, where they do every little chore on their own; from managing their uniforms to bedding. In boarding schools, surviving and taking care of themselves from an early age, helps children to turn into independent individuals for life.

Developing a Sense of Discipline

This reason can easily convince every parent to choose boarding schools for their children. To become successful every individual needs a sense of discipline in his life and residential schools provide that discipline. They naturally ingrain the sense of discipline as well as punctuality in their students because in there, whether in school or hostel, children are made to follow certain rules and live there while following those instructions thoroughly. Positively this grooms them into a responsible and reliable person.

Better Focus and Fewer Distractions

Most of the boarding schools have a boarding team for taking care and supervision of the children who not only make them feel at home but also focus on their performance in various fields regularly. This promotes a positive learning experience and also, helps students to eliminate unnecessary distractions so that they could focus on studies and work on themselves. Creating such an environment full of knowledge and learning leaves no space for things that could waver their concentration. Besides, making the budding geniuses more constructive and productive.

Encouraging and Exciting Sports & Extra-Curricular Activities

Day Schools also provide various sports & extra-curricular activities but the encouragement towards them is quite lesser than in residential schools. For instance, day schools have limited time due to which they can only give one hour a day to sports or any other extra-curricular activities, whereas boarding schools divide their time properly to make students focus on extra-curricular activities as much as studies. Also, the camaraderie that exists in boarding schools within the students is irreplaceable because living together instills a sense of relationship, making them a team full of encouragement and communication. Standing by their peers helps in learning important life skills, such as spirit and collaboration.

Diversity and New Experience

Another crucial factor which day schools can never provide is diversity and new experiences as much as they are within a short distance, some parents might feel good to send their children in nearby school but those schools could not bring the great exposure on the table for their students. As residential schools have children coming from different regions and far-flung areas to study and live with each other in a school. This leads them to experience different cultures, traditions, races, and heritage. Moreover, these new experiences are essential for the growing minds of children for the overall development of their personalities.

So, don’t take too much time to ponder upon whether to go with residential schools or not. Open the list of top residential schools in India and enrol your children and make their future locked safely.

Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu Exposes Fake Twitter Account Spreading Rumors on Exam Results, Shares Screen Shot On Social Media

It was another case of fake news in which a rumor spread that the results of Assam Higher Secondary exams had been released. The fake news spread quickly, requiring the intervention of Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, who exposed the details of a fake Twitter account spreading rumors about exam results.

On Friday, Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, took to social media to debunk the fake news that the Secondary Exams results of Assam had been released. The Minister clarified that the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) are responsible for declaring the exam results, and they will be declared according to their predetermined schedule.

Additionally, Minister Ranoj Pegu shared screenshots of the fake Twitter account bearing his name and allegedly spreading false news about the announcement of results for the HSLC & HS Examination, 2024. The screenshots revealed that miscreants had attempted to spread the fake news that the results of the Secondary Exams would be declared on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Minister Ranoj Pegu also clarified that the claims were entirely false and once again exposed how easily such false information can spread on social media. This underscores the need for readers to remain vigilant and verify information from credible sources.

SEBA and AHSEC are tasked with conducting the Class 10 and Class 12 exams, respectively. The Class 10 matric exams concluded on March 4, and the Class 12 higher secondary exams concluded on March 13. In 2023, the Assam board Class 10 results were declared on May 22, and Class 12 HS results on June 16. The results will be made available on the official websites of the board — sebaonline.org, resultsassam.nic.in, and ahsec.assam.gov.in.

Last year, the pass percentage for Class 10 was 72.69 percent. The pass percentage for the Class 12 Arts stream was 70.12 percent, 79.57 percent for the Commerce stream, and 84.96 percent in the Science stream.

The Assam Board of Secondary Education is expected to release the Assam Board 10th Result 2024 during the first week of May 2024. However, no official announcement has been issued by the Assam Board yet.

Interested candidates and students can apply for the internship provided by NASA on intern.nasa.gov., their official website.

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement on an annual basis accepts enrollment of over 2,000 students via this opportunity.

Under NASA’s pathways programme, recent graduates and students are allowed to apply for “paid internships that are direct pipelines to full-time employment at NASA”.

Apply: https://t.co/pUmAlqhkvB https://t.co/tzBpQH9sXc— NASA Internships (@NASAInterns) April 5, 2024

The leading space agency announced,

“A common misconception is that NASA only offers engineering internships. Please know that we have opportunities for students who are not majoring in engineering. NASA needs employees with a variety of knowledge and skills. At NASA, our engineers, mathematicians, scientists, accountants, writers, IT specialists, project managers, program analysts, and many other professionals work together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible.”

NASA further added,

“Non-engineering interns may support a variety of business and program management work, including procurement, budgeting, accounting, information technology, and security.”

Eligibility Criteria of NASA Internship

The eligibility criteria for the internship is also an important factor to be taken care of. To apply for the internship, candidates must hold US citizenship and have a minimum GPA from 3.0 to 4.0 on a scale of five.

Candidates of 16 years or older can apply for the internship. The last date to fill up the application form for NASA’s internship programme is April 12, 2024.
