“Educate Girls' learning kit helped me realize the brilliant work they are doing”
-Dilip, Teacher at a Government Primary School.
Dilip, a teacher at a Government run Primary school in a rural village of Udaipur, Rajasthan was always interested in academics. After completing his graduation, Dilip worked as a police officer. However, his interest and passion for education brought him back to school – this time – as a teacher!
When Educate Girls’ field staff visited the school where he taught, he was told about how the organization helped with improving learning outcomes for children studying in grades 3-5. At first he refused, saying he didn’t need anybody’s help in his classroom. However, after some time he agreed as he thought the help provided by Educate Girls’ Team Balika (Community Volunteers) would be necessary as the schools had very few teachers.
He shares, “Despite being unconvinced, I allowed the Field Coordinator and Team Balika to support us in the school. I had a change of heart when I saw them use the Gyan ka Pitara (GKP)* kit which translates into Repository of Knowledge. I observed that the students were learning better and participating in class with a renewed interest. I realized what a good job the organization was doing. There are over 250 worksheets for each child at every learning level in the classroom. The learning material is easily understood by the children since it focusses on developing their basic skills in literacy and numeracy. Since every child gets a set of worksheets, no child is left behind.”
He also adds, “The support we received from the organization, especially in schools with less teachers, is helpful. Educate Girls’ GKP kits have helped increase students’ interest as well as attendance in class. I will definitely support Educate Girls in the great work they are doing in every way I can.”
*GKP: Gyan Ka Pitara which translates to Repository of Knowledge is a activity based pedagogy which focuses on building micro-competencies in English, Hindi and Math (Conducted for students in Grades 3rd, 4th and 5th)
