Is School Study Alone Enough to Handle the Toughness of Today’s Syllabus?

In today’s fast-paced and competitive academic environment, the question is no longer whether students are studying—but whether they are studying enough and right. With board exams becoming more concept-oriented, entrance exams demanding analytical thinking, and competitive pressures rising, many parents and students are beginning to ask: Is school study alone enough to handle the toughness of today’s syllabus?

At New10s, we believe this is a vital question that every parent and student should ask, and the answer is far more layered than a simple yes or no.

The Evolution of Today’s Academic Syllabus

Gone are the days when memorizing textbook content was sufficient to secure good grades. Today’s syllabus—across CBSE, ICSE, and state boards—has evolved to focus more on:

• Application of concepts
• Critical thinking and reasoning
• Practical-based learning
• Integrated interdisciplinary knowledge

Boards like CBSE have aligned their curriculum with NEP 2020 guidelines, introducing competency-based questions, case studies, and problem-solving formats. Students are not only expected to know but also to understand and apply.

Challenges Faced in Classroom Learning

Despite efforts by schools to match the pace, various limitations exist:

1. One Size Doesn’t Fit All

In a typical classroom with 30–60 students, it’s difficult for teachers to personalize the learning pace for each child. Some grasp quickly, others need repetition and deeper explanation.

2. Time Constraints

Teachers are often bound by strict syllabi timelines. There’s barely enough time to finish the textbook content, let alone revise, practice questions, or cater to students’ individual doubts.

3. Limited Practice Opportunities

School exams usually focus on textbook exercises. However, board and entrance exams require exposure to HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills), sample papers, mock tests, and more—all of which are often out of scope in regular school hours.

4. Lack of Attention to Foundational Gaps

When foundational concepts from previous classes are weak, students struggle with current topics. In school, there’s little time to revisit previous class concepts.

Why Additional Support Makes a Difference

This is where supplementary education—such as after-school tuition or coaching—makes a noticeable impact. A structured tuition environment can:

• Reinforce classroom learning through personalized guidance
• Identify and bridge learning gaps
• Provide extensive practice material, revision tests, and mock exams
• Offer concept clarification at a student’s pace
• Boost confidence and performance

Final Verdict: Is School Alone Enough?

While school lays the foundation, it is not always sufficient to tackle the increasing complexity of today’s academic and competitive expectations. Supplementary learning has become not a luxury, but a necessity—especially if your child aims to stand out, not just pass.

Adding a structured tuition program, like the one we offer at New10s, helps students:

• Learn deeper

• Stay ahead of the curve

So, if you’re wondering whether your child needs extra help beyond school—the answer is most likely yes.
