Student statistics
“It was a tough year for us with many difficulties but we made sure that the students were made available with all the resources. For subjects like Maths and science we had also asked teachers from Private schools to assist our students. The school held six prelim exams so that on the exam they would be confident,” said one of the school’s principals.
Praising the school, Kunal Lamne, father of Arya Lamne and mechanical engineer at a private firm said, “We had multiple school options, but we took a chance on believing in the civic schools and enrolled my both kids in this school. Both the kids are not from underprivileged backgrounds keeping faith we took the call. Education should reach all and maintain the quality of education, BMC should open more such schools.”
The results reflect that the students from BMC schools made significant progress in Mathematics, Science and English subjects. Also, some students have achieved special proficiency in Marathi by getting marks out of the package. This is the result of the students' study, proper guidance of teachers, cooperation of parents and various initiatives implemented by the education department.
