In addition, the exams which taiga set-up (i.e. this) - once they are completed, could be sent out to disadvantaged schools on behalf of VN/AN?

Just a thought.


One thing could be giving the VN made practice exams to disadvantaged schools for free, as well as Ninwa's idea?

We can email them. Costs us nothing.

I didn't get accepted xD.

Not really that underprivileged in terms of the school i go, and even though i get welfare payments im really still quite fortunate with my education.

So yea didnt get accepted, but i guess they take as many disadvantaged students as possible anyway!

Um disadvantaged schools hmm...

Is a matter of opinion isn't it?

I'm thinking from remote areas.. or bad socio-economic environments.

Maybe we should do free classes before exams (almost like lectures) but with heaps of VNers for almost one-on-one help.
But maybe only allow people from under-rep schools? So we don't get overwhelmed.
