About Jammu and Kashmir State Open School (JKSOS)
The Jammu & Kashmir State Open School (SOS) was established in 2002 to achieve 100% literacy in the state. It provides open and distance learning (ODL) up to the senior secondary level, offering an alternative education system for those who have missed out on formal schooling. The SOS aims to provide educational opportunities to various groups, including dropouts, adults, and those with disabilities.
Jammu and Kashmir State Open School was envisaged as a comprehensive instructional release institution that offered the autonomy to students to get education without the bottleneck of attending daily classes. We have succeeded in creating a distance education program as a planned extended learning endeavour. JKSOS has gained an expertise in delivering instructional possessions and thereby providing opportunities to students located away from the organization.
We have expanded our distance education program in India. With comprehensive online solutions for the students; our axiom is to help everyone in need of quality education in all corners of the world. The remarkable contribution of JKSOS in the field of education has been to achieve Discipline and quality of education which is the backbone of JKSOS.
The Nationality policy on Education suggested intensification of JKSOS for extending open learning facilities in a phased manner at High School & Intermediate levels all over the country and abroad as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination leading to awarding of certificates.
What makes JKSOS a convenient and viable approach towards education is that student’s get the facility of online admission and their enrollment number is given right way. Moreover, the online study material is provided in different languages as per the subjects opted by the students or their preference. We also provide online verification of the results of the pass out students.
Our visualization of providing education to school students in India and students or working talented abroad has taken shape by way of the extension of instructional delivery facilities In India and abroad. These educational facilities are intended to target specific needs of students all over the world.
