When we work at the grassroots we understand that all the hype about 100% in the so called erudite Kerala is a myth. There are increasing numbers of school drop outs in Kerala.
Why this discrepency?
The educational system in the state is no more of interest to many chidlren. Children in this society have many more things in their life that interests them; most important among them are cell phones (games, sociel media etc), televisions, video games etc. Our system of education is still black boards, learning by rote and majority of our teachers belong to the old system. There is need to use alternative education methods making use of the latest techniques and teaching methods that interests chidlren.
We have been looking at dropout chidlren who needs to be provided with basics in leteracy, language and maths so that it is possible to bring back interest in chidlren to learn lack of which is also due to the fact that even higher grades of chidlren are not literate.
Our child helpline is always an important to identify drop out children in the district and we provide them shelter and basic education to rejuvenate them and send them back to school.
Thank you for your great supports which will indeed continue to help to susutain chidlren in education.
