Though I don’t like to make comparisons, I would like to say that our syllabus is good, our text books are good and the content is good but the way it is imparted needs a lot of improvement. Here we fail. Mary’s School is a renowned international brand. Many students and guardians are in thrust to study here. What is the main attraction of this school?

I feel this is the main attraction of St. Mary’s. What is the tutorial...
