We are excited to inform you that the upcoming Marathi Shala Mid-Term Assessments will be conducted on Saturday (Jan 25th in Shala Times). We are happy with the progress our students have made—they are showing great interest in learning Marathi, exploring cultural traditions, and our heritage.

Our aim is to create a fun and engaging learning experience by teaching Marathi conversation, reading, and writing skills, while also instilling an appreciation for our culture and traditions—without putting undue pressure on the kids. This coming Saturday is more fun learning-based assessment.

To ensure the assessments are inclusive and comprehensive, they are structured to cater to each student’s proficiency level. Children with advanced knowledge will answer detailed questions, while beginners will have simpler tasks. For Batch 1 Group 1, assessments will primarily focus on oral responses. We also helped kids in preparing the assessment.

We kindly request you to help your child revise and prepare for their assessment. Below, we have shared the assessment structure for each group. You can also find study materials on our website: https://mhshala.org/study-materials/.
