Para Teacher in Govt school for Child Education

A Para Teacher appointed by Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) says that, “being a Para Teacher, has changed my personality. I was searching for job of a teacher in private school, but the schools are too far from my village and the salary will not be enough to run my family. But I had never thought of working as a Para Teacher in my village only. The community people now greets me with respect in my own village, such experience I had never feel before becoming a Para Teacher.”

The changes can be seen in the school and in the children also. Changes not only in teaching-learning environment, but GVT tries to give a broader picture to the Para Teachers to improve other areas of school not only teaching and learning. A safe and children friendly environment, develop extra reading materials, regular attendance of children in school, organize different activities, sports, games, cultural celebrations, improve school and community relation, and many more things GVT tries to emphasis by Para Teacher in school and in community.

GVT firstly thought to give one or two Para Teacher where needed, so that children do not miss learning in school. But later many challenges have seen, and therefore it is decided not to only focus on teaching but also there are other aspects where GVT can work to improve children’s overall learning and development. During the school time the Para Teachers use different teaching methods, so that children feel joyful environment.

Para Teachers are just a small help to the schools where there is lack of teachers, but overall they are playing a major role in children and school’s overall development. Till date there are many schools where there is lack of teachers and that is why children are not learning, and more Para Teachers are needed.
