What next after +2?
Is it always a problem maker for both parents and students?
Same problem arises after tenth standard in choosing the stream for higher studies.
Many parents will go for an online search, some seek expert opinions but some are passive and leave the decision to the child.
Beware, choosing the right course at the right time is important in a student’s life because it is likely to affect the future.
But how can we identify the interest of the child?
Here comes the IPA (Interest Profile Assessment)
What are the reasons to take IPA?
Interest: Let him learn what he/she is interested. It is characteristic that individuals appreciate when they accomplish something that they are keen on. We should assist the youngster in pursuing something that fulfils his/her aptitude.
Responsibility: When the student selects the course which he/she needs to study, of course he will be more responsible for it. Higher education demands more responsibility from the student.
Confidence: Pursuing something which someone is interested to will help to be more confident about the course. It is natural that confidence will influence the academic track record.
Autonomy: It is the decision of the student, not the parent. Students taking this decision by reflecting his/her abilities, opportunities, alternatives, choosing the right course and finally decide to pursue it.
Perform well: Getting confident and responsible for the course will help the adult to perform well and bring out innovations.
List of Options: Knowledge about different kinds of career is many times limited for a parent. IPA will give the list of specific options based on the interest.
Expert Opinion: It is not only an assessment test. It is backed by counselling session by experts in the field of education. Children may open up about their career dreams more to counselling sessions.
So please don’t wait and book your appointment at Helikx Open School Salem for the Interest Profile Assessment!
