One of the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic was the disruption of regular in-person classes due to which the teachers could not offer personal attention and guidance to the students. To compensate for this and to bridge the learning gaps, relentless efforts were put in by the teachers of Delhi Public School Vadodara by donning the role of mentors. From putting in continuous efforts in providing online learning resources, conducting tests from time to time through online mode, to conducting practicals online, DPS Vadodara has left no stone unturned in preparing the students for the board exams. Online learning resources desined in line with board exam pattern were provided, tests were conducted at regular intervals, virtual classes were conducted for solving children's doubts, and counselling on time management was offered. Most of all, a patient ear with an empathetic heart to understand the emotional upheaval of the pandemic induced loss helped the students cope with the situation. Unsurprisingly, our students achieved excellent results in the board exams.
