Testimonial

मराठी ऑलिंपियाड या परीक्षेकरीता आमच्या शाळेमधून प्रथमच विद्यार्थी बसले. विद्यार्थ्यांना वेगळ्या परीक्षेचा अनुभव मिळाला. यातून विद्यार्थी स्वयं अध्ययन शिकले, छोटे -छोटे बारकावे ही शिकले. सामान्य ज्ञानावर आधारित प्रश्न कशा स्वरूपाचे असतात हाही वेगळा अनुभव मिळाला.
जे विद्यार्थी या परीक्षेस बसले नव्हते त्यांनाही असे वाटू लागले की, आपण संधी गमावली आता पुढच्या वर्षी आपणही जास्तीत जास्त संख्येने या परीक्षेस बसू. आपली मराठी संस्कृती व मराठी भाषा जतन करण्यासाठी विद्यार्थ्यांसाठी ही एक चांगलीच संधी उपलब्ध झाली असे म्हणणे पालक स्तरातूनही आले.
