Gift an education...Make a life !

Effective learning is not possible if teaching is not happening correctly. All the students in the class are not always on the same page. Each one of them required their own space of learning. The major important part is the student will not come and tell the teacher about his difficulties. It is the teacher who has to understand each one of his students, their learning pace, understanding and many more to teach effectively.

Our teacher uses different strategies to teach the students effectively. Many time it has observed that the students will catch up rapidly if the strategies used are more familiar to them. Like stones, leaves, marbles, currency and many more which they regularly watching and feeling them. The essay on cow will be much easy for the students if they actually observe and understand it, same as in mathematics some local tools will be easier for them to understand rather than using chalk and black-board.

At our schools, we uses different strategies to teach the students, being friendly will not solve the problem to teach the students, but the teacher will need to use different approaches for the healthy learning environment.

At GVT we are trying our best to support the students for best learning environment, as well as giving different strategies to the government teachers for better teaching experiences.

Dear well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch!

Few days back children from one of the project schools of Gram Vikas Trust (GVT), Bharuch were not really interested in learning. Coming to school regularly was taken for granted by the parents and children. It was normal thing for the parents and children to remain away from the schools. Most of the children/youth/elders from this village have not able to complete their primary education from the village level school itself. Higher education from town side is not the matter of discussion.

Bhilwada (name changed) is very interior village with 100 per cent tribal population, the village seems beautiful as it is covered with a range of mountain and greenery. But while interacting with people it can be observed that they are very poor and having very less exposure. The village have able to get the electricity few years back only. The village is having very less facilities like connectivity with the other villages, mobile networks, hospital facilities and other basic amenities. There is one primary school up to 7 standard.

GVT started working in this village since a year ago, and it took a year to establish good rapport with them and making them understand that education is the only mean which can change their situation. As the village culture was build up such a way that nobody were interested in talking about education. They were giving respect to the government teachers but when it comes about the regularity they could not link them with their priorities and from decades the situation was the same.

With the help of government teachers, we could able to link them up with importance of education and regularity in school. The innovation of teachers in teaching made children coming to school on regular basis. Different innovative games and joyful learning from teachers and learning material, sports materials, school materials from GVT helped children to engage with the school. The school attendance was observed in the past years was around 40 to 50 per cent, which now has increased up to 75 to 85 per cent.

The teachers feeling blessed as they also able to set a vision of teaching, and parents are also now happily engaging in school related activities. Which has boosted GVT’s confidence in working with the community and children.

Thanking you all for your continuous support.
