‘OUR STUDENTS DO NOT NEED EXTRA TUITION CLASSES’
The lockdown has changed the way we look at children’s education, and the ways in which it is imparted,” says Rajat Singhal, co-founder and CEO of
Indeed, two years ago, when Covid-19 struck, the world witnessed a change in people’s lifestyles and attitudes. It was not just office-goers who were affected, but also students and young kids who had to bear the brunt of what the pandemic had unleashed across the globe.
In such a scenario, parents were left wondering how this change would impact the education of their children. Would they miss the physical presence of teachers and peers, and the need to be at school? Helping them overcome their initial resentment and accept online classes as a great viable option is Cyboard School, which was launched in February last year. It has already imparted education to over 500 students for one complete academic year.
Cyboard School offers wholesome online education to make students complete individuals. The school is already making an impact and helping parents understand that the quality of education being imparted to their children in online classes is just as good and professional as regular schools, probably even better.
Talking about the advantage of online schooling offered by Cyboard School that follows the CBSE curriculum, Singhal says, “Excellent-quality education that was limited to tier I cities is now accessible through us to children in tier II and tier III towns as well, and at a very pocketfriendly fee structure.”
Cyboard School promises to revolutionise the education system in the country. And the first step in that direction is to make education an enjoyable affair, with students being made part of live interactive classes with the use of a one-click platform, complete with content, audio, video, and gamification.
“Our teaching methods are so thorough that Cyboard students, unlike kids of most other schools, do not need to attend tuition classes after school,” stresses Singhal.
This has been made possible due to the best teaching talent brought on board by the discerning Cyboard founders. Unlike rote learning that was hitherto encouraged by many conventional teaching methods, at Cyboard, the stress is on making the basic concepts clear to students. With the help of a variety of multimedia content, teachers are encouraged to give each child individual attention and explain concepts so that they can be applied in real-life situations.
What also makes Cyboard School unique is that it accepts that each student is different, and hence must be treated differently. The teachers here understand that the students have different levels of learning and consequently must be given customised assignments as per their skills. This is what is referred to as adaptive learning for each student.
For sceptics who feel that online classes can’t keep a check on kids’ attention for long, Cyboard has AI-driven intuitive tech platform that keeps track of whether students are paying attention or not. With the help of its facial recognition and body language tracking, it informs the teachers about those whose minds are wandering off.
For students who are shy and not confident enough to raise questions or talk about their doubts, Cyboard offers extra care as it wants each child to grow up to be a confident, positive and self-assured individual. It encourages them to be forthcoming through multiple doubt resolution sessions in which they get special attention and time to clarify any problems and concerns they may have.
Alongside studies, Cyboard
School also lays great emphasis on extra-curricular activities that are perfect to develop social skills, and help kids learn ways to work and move towards a shared goal. It has a number of skilled professionals on board to conduct sessions on theatre, arts, vocal, instrumental, coding and robotics at the elementary level to hone your kids’ hidden talents. These sessions will go a long way to help students choose the skill they want to achieve in middle school and beyond.
