Pandemonium in Disguise

Henry A. Kissinger, a Nobel Prize Awardee, who is a diplomat and a social scientist once, said that each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem. How truly it suits the scenario of yearly school admissions that strike a commotion, a sense of pandemonium amongst the parents who are working hard enough just so that they can provide a decent lifestyle and a good school for their child, whom they wished, would become not only a good son or a daughter, but a good educated human being, educated well-enough to be able to empower those who are oppressed and need to be uplifted in the society.

In India, academic year commences from the month of march every year, and new students are taken into different schools based on a competitive entrance or oral examination that helps the school administration to choose the best candidates for their school. There are several procedures that need to be fulfilled in order to get admission in a school and every school ensures that the criteria’s are met before taking in those students. The school admissions 2014 in Bangalore is also gearing up, as parents are running helter-skelter in order to get all the required documents, preparing their children for mock interviews, doing everything they can to ensure a brighter future for the child.

March is a very busy season for all schools, because just before schools reopen for a new academic year, there are frequent visitors at school, most of them being parents, who come with their children to buy the school books, bags and other academic requirements that are usually purchased from the school’s stationary office. A research study has suggested that most kids are afraid to face their interviews during school admissions not because of their own fear, but because they see their parents getting paranoid.

It is highly essential for parents to understand that they should be calm and composed and not show their feelings before their children as it may affect their state of mind. With technology advancing at super speed, the entire process has become quite painless. School’s websites have an open forum to fill admission forms, declare important dates of exams or interviews with parents. Payment of fees is also becoming a cakewalk, as online payments and transfers of money enable and timely access to the parents to submit their child’s schools fee.

Every parent is attracted to any school that not only offers them best and costly things for their child, but has had a good academic performance in the successive batches of students that passed out from the school. So, this criterion requires every school to come up with their own mission, vision and core values for the school. Also, with a regular, formal pattern of studying that convinces the parents that the child is in good hands and his future is not in doldrums.

The schools which rule the sector of education are mainly those schools, who have paid great attention over the administration, staff and other ground staff selection that forms the base of any organisation. Secondly, those who ensure learning along with co-curricular development of the child pertaining to any area of interest the child wishes to be a part of.
