Improve Handwriting Skills:
The Significance of the Handwriting Olympiad
The rapid advancement of communication technology has diminished the significance of handwritten communication. However, a student’s competence is still evaluated based on their handwriting, particularly during exams.
The issue of legibility significantly impacts a student’s grades and academic trajectory. Studies indicate that one out of every three school-going children struggles with legibility issues in their handwriting. Despite schools’ earnest intentions and efforts to address this concern, the problem persists. Therefore, the Handwriting Olympiad was introduced in 2016 as a platform where participating students could receive personalized corrective advice from handwriting experts, enabling them to enhance their legibility skills.
Join us and be a part of this incredible experience.
