Interactive sessions held at school

Chandigarh, February 23

Three interactive sessions on ‘Career Guidance and Counselling’ under the “Samagra Shiksha Chandigarh” were conducted by Dr Bharat, Assistant Professor, University Institute of Legal Studies, Panjab University, for the students of Class XI and XII at Government Senior Secondary School, Sector 45-A.

Dr Bharat underlined that the ultimate goal of education was to inspire the next generation of learners to find their passions, hone their skills and help them to continue the quest for personal growth. He also emphasised that education not only helped in personality development of a child but also played a vital role in ‘character building’ which couldn’t be undermined at any cost.

He underlined various career options available to the students in the higher education institutions in general and the PU in particular. There were three sessions for the students from various streams, which were followed by a question-answer session and a quiz.

“Samagra Shiksha” is an overarching programme for the school education sector extending from pre-school to Class XII and has the broader goal of improving school effectiveness measured in terms of equal opportunities for schooling and equitable learning outcomes. — TNS
