An on-the-spot Work Experience item at High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE in which a student makes products from natural fibres other than coconut.
Natural fibres such as banana fibre, pineapple fibre, jute, sisal and screw-pine are twisted, woven or plaited into mats, bags and ornaments.
In the Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Work Experience Fair (Pravrutthiparichayamela) it is an on-the-spot item for individual entrants, open to girls and boys at High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12). Each child works alone for a fixed period at the venue, with the product then displayed for viewing at the district and state stages. It is an item for the older levels, so judges expect precise workmanship and a clear understanding of materials and tools.
The student prepares and twists the fibre, weaves or plaits it and finishes the product. Judges look at evenness and strength.
Every Work Experience item uses the fair’s single shared score sheet: the workload and the child’s own contribution carry 40 marks, skill and completeness 25, knowledge of raw materials and tools 20, and social utility, speciality and marketability 15. For products using natural fiber except coconut fiber, that means preparing and working the fibre yourself earns the workload marks, even weave shows skill, naming the fibre and process shows knowledge, and a useful item earns the utility marks.
