 Board exam anxiety: Dial helpline for counselling
Ahmedabad: For students as well as their parents feeling the exam jitters, a number of agencies have started counselling helplines. Now, students appearing for the board exams can call up on these helpline numbers if they are facing pre-exam stress. Students and parents can also walk into the college premises for personal consultation.
CU Shah Arts College will open ten phone lines from Thursday which will cater to any query being faced by children preparing for exams. These may include issues like students feeling jittery while preparing for exams, unable to study for exams, being scared of going blank while writing an exam paper or finishing the exam on time.
The phone lines will be manned by experts including psychologists who will counsel students feeling the heat of exams. Even parents who are worried about their wards can call and put forth their worries.
Last year, 3,200 students called up on the helpline and 120 parents and students had taken personal counselling. Meanwhile, the Navjyot Charitable Trust will also open helpline for students from Friday and hold counselling sessions on L&C Mehta Arts College campus, between 11 am and 1 pm. The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board is also expected to start a state-wide helpline for students in distress.
Recently, five students committed suicide before the onset of board exams. Experts have expressed concern over this as this is the first time that the string of suicides have begun months before the exams which are generally scheduled in March.
