It was a quiet day at Government VHSS for Deaf, Jagathy, on Thursday. However, inside the staff room of the VHSE section, the excitement was palpable as teachers looked up the results of 12 students — six boys studying Graphic Design and Printing and six girls pursuing the Fashion and Apparel Designing course — who had appeared for the Plus Two vocational higher secondary examinations this year.
Soon, it became apparent that the school had continued with its good show, producing 100% results this year too.
Four of the students were at hand — three boys and one girl — to see what the day would bring them. Kripa Ann Benchamen, Rahul, Rahul M., and Mohammed Jasim could not stop beaming, and chatting with their absent friends using a mobile phone app.
Uncertainty looms
They were also aware of the uncertainty that lay ahead. Rahul dreamt of appearing for the NISH entrance examination to study there, or pursue B.Com. Rahul M. and Mohammed Jasim want to work at a printing press.
Kripa wants to pursue fashion technology at NISH or study computer science at the government ploytechnic, Karamana. Her father rued the lack of good colleges for aurally challenged students. The NISH entrance examination was tough, and students in government schools were not given any coaching to prepare for it, he said. The teachers said once schools reopened, they would help the students prepare for the NISH entrance examinations.
The higher secondary section at the school also registered 100% win in Plus Two with all the nine students passing the examinations.
