The role of schools in conducting online Olympiad exams involves several key responsibilities, and creating awareness about the importance of the exam and encouraging students to focus on relevant syllabus topics is one of them. Here's an expanded role for schools in this context:

• Awareness and Promotion: 

Schools should actively promote the Olympiad exam to their students, emphasizing its significance in enhancing their knowledge and problem-solving skills.
Conduct orientation sessions or workshops to inform students about the purpose, format, and benefits of participating in the Olympiad.

• Registration and Logistics:

• Facilitate the registration process for interested students, ensuring that they have access to all necessary information, application forms, and payment details.

• Curriculum Alignment:

• Encourage students to focus on relevant syllabus topics that align with the Olympiad subjects. Provide guidance on which concepts and chapters they should concentrate on.

• Motivation and Encouragement:

• Inspire and motivate students to participate actively, highlighting the potential benefits of excelling in Olympiad exams, such as scholarships, recognition, and personal growth.

• Communication:

• Maintain open communication channels with parents and guardians, updating them on their child's participation and performance in Olympiad exams.

• Support for Diverse Subjects:

• Recognize that Olympiads cover a wide range of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, English, and more. Schools should extend their support and encouragement to students across different subjects.
