ORIENTATION PROGRAM ON EXAM PREPARATION TECHNIQUES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

SEDT designed simple steps before the students start studying the subjects which would help them to come out from the fear, tension and loss of memory. The training covers how to enhance their memory and learning ability through changing their regular practices.  Early morning studies, simple warm-ups, Health and food practices and better study plans are some components covered in the orientation programs.  SEDT believes that, the simple orientations will build their confidence and ability on learning towards ensuring their better future.

SEDT conducted the program in Government Middle School in Urampatti village among the 6 to 8^th students.  The feedback of the children and teachers are good and the school headmaster had appreciated by writing letter to us.   SEDT Planned to conduct such program in 10 local schools in Maraneri, Vilampatti, Mamsapuram, Durisamypuram, Anayur, Reserveline, Maniyampatti, Kitcha nayakkanpatti, Thulukkapatti and Periapottalpatti.  Each program will take 1 hour with short orientation and interaction at the end.
