Quality education for kids of disadvantaged group

After a long struggle with the Covid situation, the school started normal functioning. The school remained close for a long time thus we initiated touch with every student to help them continue their education during the Covid situation. Despite the want of an android mobile phone with students or their parents, availability of internet connection in our locality, running online classes was impossible. Because of the reason stated above, running the education program has become a hard task for us. However, now lockdown is closed. The school started functioning normally. But the strength of students came down to a considerable amount. That's a matter of concern and needs regular follow-up with an awareness program with dropout students and their parents. The poor economic condition of the parents encountering twin attacks of Covid 19 and YASS followed by AMPHAN like a super cyclone changed their priority of living. As a result, children's education has become a secondary issue. We are also facing tremendous financial scarcity for the above-stated reason and could not undertake the needed activities to overcome the problem. However, despite all the stated barriers, we are trying hard to get the job done. Present activities are stated below:-
1. The classes are running six days a week.
2. Cultural activities and sports programs are started regularly.
3. Terminal examination is done.
4. Computer classes are running.
5. Regular evaluation of the home task is done.
On the part of the organizer, we accumulated learning materials, furniture, equipment, etc. to ensure a congenial education environment to some extent. We renovated the destroyed and damaged building. The playground is brought to normal conditions. Even with our all-out effort to ensure the best possible support to students, many things are yet to be done. We need more computers, furniture, sports materials, learning materials, etc for which financial support is needed. Teachers honorarium also a matter of conncern for us due to financial constrsaint. However, we convey our thanks to donors, supporters and wellwishers for supporting us in doing our work to a great extent.

"Amara Sabai", since its inception, has given top priority to the education of the kids of poor and underprivileged. Over the years, we modified our working method, considering the local need and providing quality education. This year it was much more stringent than ever before because of Covid19. Maintaining Normal work was almost impossible following Covid norms. Thus, to continue the programme, we involved guardians in receiving home tasks for their kids. The completed home tasks were reviewed regularly by the trained teachers. We know that we are working in an area where there is no option of using modern technologies for online classes. Thus throughout the year, our teachers attended to the students by forming several small groups to help them complete their syllabus.

Now the administration lifted the ban on regular activities of the School and the School opened partially. We expect to run in full mode within a few days. In between, we have completed the annual evaluation of the students. But, it is a matter of serious concern that a large section of students has become a dropout. Many of the reasons remain behind the dropout. Migration of the parent for a searching job, poverty, and other engagement during this pandemic is the main reason. Moreover, Super cyclones such as AMPHAN and YASS broke the backbone of the rural economy. Some of the parents are unable to bear the financial burden of the education of their children.
On the other hand, we have renovated the school accommodation, ruined by the cyclones. But we could not manage or procure learning materials, accessories, furniture etc. for the smooth functioning of the school and to provide better classroom facilities to the students.

In this situation, we are striving with the financial burden and are unable to procure the required items but trying sincerely.
I request our donor and well-wisher to stand by us to overcome the problem and afford the best educational support to the underprivileged group.
