Kayalpatnam.com>What is your opinion of the facilities in Kayalpatnam for education? Do you think it is satisfactory? From a student's point of view, what improvement you think should be made in the field of education in Kayalpatnam?
Mr.Jabir>According to me, the educational facilities in Kayalpatnam are not satisfactory. As a student, from
my point of view, good teachers can be appointed and awareness can be created among the students and teachers for getting
high marks. The school rules and regulations can be made more strict (but not to hurt students). Many revision tests should be conducted and question papers taken from some good institutions can be given. Finally, we should strengthen our fundamentals in primary and secondary education, before higher secondary education.
Kayalpatnam.com>As some one who had come first in Kayalpatnam, what is your advise and tip to youngsters who would be taking their Plus Two examinations in the future?
Mr.Jabir>As a student, I advise our youngsters as follows:
*** Follow your elders and obey your parents
*** Write many tests and ask many questions to the teachers
*** Do not by-heart any subject. Understand the matter clearly and present it uniformly
*** Take care of your health. It is very important for your studies
*** Do not get tensed and confused while taking the exams. For entrance exam, be careful with
the coding sheet, a small mistake in it can spoil your future
*** Eat well and sleep well during exam times
*** Do not leave any question without answering. Attempt all questions.Some questions may give
some useful marks
*** Time (the most precious as gold) - is very important. For most of the students, time is a big
problem. So tackle time. Plan the answer paper
*** Put the question number carefully. Some students may not put the question number or put the
wrong question number while the exam due to tensiojn. So be cool. The question number is very
important
*** Your handwriting must be neat for English and Language (Tamil, Arabic ...). But it is not that
strict for other papers (it should be understandable to the examiner)
*** Do not lose hope. If you do not write one or two exams well, try your best in the next one. Remember
knowledge and education are infinite. Your life has to bear failures.
Kayalpatnam.com>Tell us about your family.
Mr.Jabir>In my family, my uncle Mr.Mehar Ali contributed the most for my success. He helped
in all kinds of problems. I thank him. My mother also guided me well.
