Tutor Guardian Scheme

TEACHER GUARDIAN SCHEME (TGS)

SLIET Longowal has introduced this scheme to have one to one interaction with students. For a batch of about fifteen students, a teacher is assigned the role of Teacher-Guardian. Teacher Guardian works as a friend, philosopher and guide for these students. He keeps the track of every student’s day-to-day activities and records daily attendance, test results, internal assessment, prelim examination results and other related information of students in a teacher guardian book. He encourages the students to participate in co -curricular & extracurricular activities He gives academic feedback to the parents/guardians regularly. He also counsels the students to solve difficulties encountered not only in college campus but in their personal lives too. Teacher guardian acts as a mentor to students and offers them emotional and academic support along with motivation. The teachers of the institution take up the responsibility of safeguarding and nurturing the newly admitted students.
