Social Project “Most Advanced Class”
Project organisers: Kaunas Heat and Power Plant (KHPP) and Kauno elektrinė (KE)
Project patron: Kaunas City Municipality
Following the most advanced and modern ideas in its activity and being in constant search of innovative solutions, Kaunas Heat and Power Plant diffuses its idea of progress at the comprehensive schools of Kaunas too. Motivating the schoolchildren for improving study results, KHPP, together with KE, announces the competition, which will determine the most advanced class.
This competition is open for all the 5th to 11th grades of comprehensive schools (1st to 3rd classes of upper secondary schools) of Kaunas. The winner of the competition will be the class that would demonstrate the highest improvement of its study results (make the greatest progress) over the current trimester/semester as compared to the previous one.
Recently, where great emphasis is drawn on the importance of good study results, competition between the schoolchildren is likely grow that leads to the destruction of good atmosphere in the class. Competition “Most Advanced Class” gives you a stimulus to outbrave yourself, as well as improve and pursue higher results. Project organisers hope that the competition will hereby gather the developing personalities for the shared goal.
“Generation of heat and electric power is the team work. We are sure that team work would lead to the achievement of highest results and greatest victories. This social project will also prove this, affirmed Rimandas Stonys, the Director General of KE and the member of the Board of KHPP. Victory of the competition “Most Advanced Class” is most possibly likely to go to the class that will work jointly; instead of putting efforts in individual work it will also help its classmates. The winning will be predetermined by the overall result of the whole class”.
Project “Most Advanced Class” will continue up to the end of the school year, whereas its winners will be announced in June. The winning class will be awarded the progress-symbolizing prize, namely a trip to the Nobel Museum in Stockholm. Schoolchildren from the second and third place winning classes will win bookstore gift vouchers.
Toma Lileikienė, Head of the Division of Education and Training of Kaunas City Municipality on the project “Most Advanced Class”:
We would like to express our kind thankfulness to Kaunas Heat and Power Plant for this project. We are pleased that private business is turning back to education. This is how the generation, whose intellect will contribute not only to successful development of business but also to the overall progress of society, is grown up.
We have no doubts that the competition “Most Advanced Class” will encourage the schoolchildren for more successful learning process, raise their willingness to improve and achieve better results. We hope that this project will reveal positive learning experience and lead to the increase in schoolchildren’s confidence in their potential.
Similar projects at the schools of Kaunas City have not been organised so far. This initiative of private business will firstly differ in that the students will not be overloaded with additional tasks during this competition. There is no need to write long essays, prepare huge projects, because today the load of schoolchildren is really huge. No additional work is required to be done for the competition, but the tasks, which must be done by the students, i.e. studying, are stimulated to be done in a more honest and diligent way.
