MANAGEMENT

THE ROAD SHISHUVAN ADOPTED• Management: All good schools have a remedial set up. It’s now made mandatory

by the government.

• Parents: Orientation and reinforcement of the benefits of the remedial education • Students: Work done individually with the remedial child and the general class.

• Teachers: Orientation and workshops on remedial education, understanding its scope and their role in class

• Counselors: They work in conjunction with the remedial teacher and the head of

department
