The Public Entrance Examination Coaching Scheme (PEECS)

A high percentage of students of the Higher Secondary Schools in Kerala come from the rural background. They do not have the financial capability to attend coaching classes to prepare for the Entrance Examinations for admission to Professional Degree Courses. So they are not able to score high marks in the Entrance Examination, on various grounds. However, they score very high marks in the Qualifying Examinations.

The proposed Public Entrance Examination Coaching Scheme (PEECS) aims at imparting training to students of Government/Aided Higher Secondary Schools & vhse Schools in Kerala, free of cost, to prepare for Entrance Examinations.

This will be by way of telecasting of classes with the help of experts in various subjects based on the syllabi of the Entrance Examinations, providing the facility for the students to interact with experts and clear their doubts, attend practice tests etc.

The classes are to be telecast during the school hours through VICTERS Channel. Students will be able to watch the telecast with their teachers. There will be a repeat telecast in the evening/night.

There will be a website for PEECS where students will have to register to use the facilities. They will take practice tests at this website. They will also get the facility to get answers for the questions in the test, post questions related to the topic to the resource person and get the answers etc. The students will be able to track their performance too. There is also a proposal to set up a Question Bank with the assistance of expert faculty.

One component of PEECS will be the telecasting of classes, each of one hour duration, based on the topics in the syllabi for the Entrance Examinations of Kerala.

Coaching will be imparted for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology). The one hour session will have a ‘subject’ discussion part and ‘question & answer’ discussion part. The number of classes for each subject for covering the entire syllabus is likely to be around 60. The classes will be telecast through the VICTERS channel of IT@ School. The telecast will be so scheduled during the school time so that the students get the facility to view the programme along with the teacher engaging the subject in the school. The classes that are telecast during the school time will be telecast again in the evening/night.

The second component of the scheme is the online practice test. After the telecast of a class on a topic is completed, the students will get the facility to attend online practice tests on that topic as per the Entrance pattern. This facility will be provided through the PEECS website to be hosted with the technical support of IT@School.

This test can be taken by the student from the school or from home or at any place having a computer with internet facility. After the test is completed, the student will get to know the score, the answers to the questions with explanatory notes. As the scheme progresses, more question sets will be added to the Question Bank being developed side by side so that the students will get the facility to take more practice tests. The students will have to register at the website to get all these facilities. This will be done through the institutions they are enrolled.

The student will also get the facility to post a question to an expert in the subject and get answer to that. The progress of the students will also be monitored under the scheme. By the time the entire course is covered, the student will have the facility to answer a full question paper online as per the entrance pattern. A Question bank is also being planned as a component of the scheme. The entire facilities related to the scheme will be provided free of cost to the students.

Faculty from Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges and retired faculty from Colleges have been identified for engaging the classes under PEECS. Although the scheme is being implemented for the KEAM Entrance Examinations now, it is expected to be extended to more areas in the coming years.

Ramzan Mubarak

Eid al-Fitr  "festival of breaking of the fast"), also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, the Sugar Feast, the Sweet Festival and the Lesser Eid, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end ofRamadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). The religious Eid is a single day and Muslims are not permitted to fast that day. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal. This is a day when Muslims around the world try to show a common goal of unity. The date for the start of anylunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality. 

Happy EID To all Vocational Instructors and Family!!!!

Revamping of HSE, VHSE curriculum mooted

Thorough revamp of curriculum, syllabus and textbooks for both Higher Secondary and Vocational Higher Secondary courses once in every five years and doing away with public examination for Class XI are among the major recommendations of a committee constituted by the State Government to examine the problems in Higher Secondary education sector and suggest remedial measures.
 Presenting the report to Education Minister P K Abdu Rabb here on Tuesday, the head of the committee P O J Labba said the report contains recommendations that need to be implemented in the short term as well as long term. “The curriculum and syllabus of Higher Secondary courses that have been in place for more than five years should be revised under the supervision of the SCERT. The state curriculum steering committee should take immediate steps in this regard,’’ he told reporters.
 In the case of Vocational Higher Secondary education, curriculum and syllabus followed for over five years, should be revised and introduced from the next academic year onwards.
Textbooks should be prepared keeping in view the recent trends and developments, the report recommended adding that an expert committee should be constituted for revising  the syllabus and the curriculum.
 Public examination can be done away with for Class XI. Instead, annual examination can be conducted in schools with a common question paper prepared under the supervision of the SCERT, the report said.
Teacher-student ratio in Higher Secondary Schools should be 1:40. If there are more than 50 students, it should be treated as a new batch. The committee recommends five working days in a week for Higher Secondary courses and rescheduling of time tables. However, the system of six working days in a week should continue for Vocational Higher Secondary courses, the report said.
The report also recommends setting up of an ‘’independent body’’ on the lines of the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) which would grade both private and government higher secondary schools. Setting up of a specialised Higher Secondary academic wing to co-ordinate functioning of Higher Secondary education and Vocational
Higher Secondary education, has also been proposed in the report. Other recommendations include constitution of a Quality Improvement Cell under the SCERT.
