HGEWA organises coaching for Class V students at Hee-Gyathang

MANGAN, 22 Dec:  A total of 28 Class V toppers from different schools of three constituencies of North Sikkim were given free coaching classes here at Hee-Gyathang Senior Secondary School from 13 to 20 December.
The children were coached by 6 teachers on English, Maths, Environment Studies and General Knowledge. The classes were organized by Hee-Gyathang Employees Welfare Association [HGEWA]. Most of the students are the first generation of their families to get education.
Both the teachers and students have enjoyed the coaching classes, said the president HGEWA, Jorbu Lepcha. He added that this initiative is an attempt to bridge the gap between the rich and poor along with bringing government school students at par with private school students.
HGEWA has extended gratitude to JD North, MLA Dzongu and panchayats for their support and further extended best wishes to the children for the Chief Minister’s Meritorious Scholarship state level test on 21 December.
