Coimbatore: Following the announcement from the District Education Department, the Corporation Model School in R S Puram has begun coaching classes for Government School students preparing for competitive exams.

As many as 15 post-graduate teachers train 45 enrolled students across the district, with 18 girls and 27 boys enrolled for JEE, NEET, IIT, CAT etc. While only 45 students have begun their classes, the Headmistress of the school, K Parimala Devi told SimpliCity that 35 students would join the class in the week ahead.

The school selected 80 students from the Science stream, while 40 other students are expected to be from the Arts stream. “Classes start at 8:30 am and end at 5 pm. However, we have study time after the regular classes," stated the Headmistress of the school.

The school appointed three government school teachers per subject, both in Tamil and English, who also attend various online seminars to improvise their teaching skills. K Parimala Devi also said, "The selection mode of training students for the competitive exams was based on quizzes and other eligibility criteria. The batch has well-performing and average students. We identify their area of interest and give individual attention to every student.

The Tamil Nadu Government had converted the Corporation school as a model school just a few days back and sanctioned Rs. 110.50 lakh funds under the 'Namaku Naamey' scheme. The Government provides free accommodation for boys and girls, with three meals a day and 250 ml of milk every morning. We also help them to appear for the exams free of cost."

When SimpliCity visited the Corporation school campus, the work for enhancing the building infrastructure required for the students was underway. However, in the present condition, the school can accommodate close to 200 students. The District Corporation plans to accommodate more students.

In spite of multiple attempts by SimpliCity to reach the Chief Education Officer to comment on the subject, there was no response.
