Teachers in Dibrugarh district of Assam have begun visiting students’ homes as part of a focused academic support initiative for the upcoming High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) Examination 2026. The move aims to address learning gaps, reduce absenteeism and encourage students to stay engaged in their board exam preparation.
Purpose of the Home-Visit Initiative for HSLC Students
The initiative has been introduced for students who are appearing in the HSLC board examination in 2026, especially those identified as irregular in attendance or academically vulnerable. Teachers are interacting directly with students and parents to understand challenges affecting studies.
Through these visits, educators are:
- Reviewing academic progress and subject-wise readiness
- Motivating students to attend classes regularly
- Addressing personal or family-related issues impacting learning
- Providing guidance on exam preparation strategies
This personalised approach is intended to strengthen student confidence ahead of the board exams.
Focus on Attendance and Academic Improvement
School authorities observed that several students were missing classes or struggling with core subjects. By visiting homes, teachers are able to explain the importance of consistent attendance and structured revision to both students and guardians. Parents are also being encouraged to create a supportive study environment at home, particularly during the final months leading up to the HSLC examinations.
Role of Schools and Education Department
The programme is being implemented at the school level with support from education officials. Teachers have been instructed to maintain records of their visits and track improvements in student participation and performance. This initiative aligns with broader efforts by the education system to ensure better board exam outcomes and reduce dropout rates at the secondary level.
Expected Impact on HSLC Exam 2026 Performance
Education officials believe that early intervention and direct engagement with students will lead to:
- Improved exam preparedness
- Higher pass percentages
- Better student-teacher communication
- Increased parental involvement in education
