Special Sections
Learning is life. We learn so many things throughout our life. Our every step is towards learning. Now- a-days the trend in education of slow learners, is integrated education which would train the slow learners to cope up with the demands in community and on the other hand to teach normal students by virtue of being exposed to slow learners to accept them Keeping in view this importance of social and educational need, Guru Harkrishan Public School, Vasant Vihar, is well equipped with a capable faculty. Mr.S.S.Minhas, the principal, has taken great pains in making arrangements for special sections of slow learners.Special education is imparted to those children who are unable to go ahead. There are 15 students in our special section and two teachers for guiding them. By using special techniques and different teaching methods they improve their learning capabilities and retaining power. The students have been divided into three groups. One is of slow learners, second is of mildly retained children, and third is of moderately retained children. They are integrated with different subjects. Few students are very good in maths. Some of them can operate the computer very well. Some of the students are very good in dance, playing cricket, swimming, art, etc. Therapies are also given in our school such as speech and occupational. Our main aim is to impart basic and functional education and to make them self-dependant. Required therapies are also used here. Special facilities are also provided such as computer training, art, music, cooking, stitching, swimming, dance, sports, etc.
The students who are slow in studies or those who are unable to cope up with the other students of same class. If a child is unable to perform as other students of his class are performing. It means there is some problem with that child. There may be several reasons. We at G.H.P.S., Vasant Vihar are imparting a special education.Special education means specially designed programmed which handles the unique needs of an exceptional child with special materials, teaching techniques, equipments and other facilities.For improving there speech problem speech therapy is given and for developing their muscles tone, body balance and trunk control occupational therapy is given to the students.We take up with different activities for their overall development.
