Dear well-wishers,
Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch.
Primary education is free in India, hence many of the parents do not able to provide motivation to their children to get enrolled or to be educated. Working in the field of education since long time, it has observed that there are different reasons for the parents and students for not continuing study.
Through different initiative GVT has done some work with parents and children and have connected them with the education again. After many efforts by our team they were enrolled in the school or started coming to school on regular basis, due to some financial issues. But due to the Covid-19 situation it has again emerged a difficult situation to make them engaged with the education. Due to school closure the parents and children are again have engaged in the labor work or other areas. And now it seems difficult at some point of time to re-engage them in education.
In this report GVT wants to share about the learning aid required for the students of project villages in rural areas. GVT has observed that many of the children are not engaging with the government program of e-learning at home. As they do not have TV or smart mobile phones at their home. If they have mobile or TV they might not have recharged it for long so they do not able to watch the government programs. GVT have identified few children who are very much bright and need support in this area, GVT have now gifted few second hand tablets and mobile phones to the children for e-learning.
The tablets and smart phones will rotate to the faliya wise (for approx. 6 to 10 children) which will be used by the students. These devices will be monitored by the local volunteers who were identified by us. We are ensuring that the devices are not watched in the group due to covid-19 situation. GVT also shares some important documents to read and study for the children.
The small amount have worth for the children, as they are happily studying. Some of our teachers, volunteer and other government teachers are engaging in this process and helping the children to make them learn and keep engaging with education. If you can help us by giving your old phone or some amount of money to buy the second hand one it will be a great help to the children for study.
