SUVIDYA will design and create a Multipurpose Algebra Kit (Plus user's manual in Kannada and English) for high school children (age group 12 - 14 yrs). The kits will be provided to teachers teaching in Kannada and English medium schools in Karnataka/elsewhere during the orientation workshop. These teachers will trial the kit in their respective schools and report their experiences and give their feedback on the effectiveness etc., in a workshop to be conducted 4-8 weeks later. SUVIDYA staff will also visit some schools/teachers to support the classroom usage.
SUVIDYA began in 1994 as an educational initiative of SAMUHA, to promote and utilize innovative ideas in education. It was intended that the school going children in and around Jalahalli in Raichur district would be the primary beneficiaries. SUVIDYA has also committed to make available the fruits of this endeavor to anyone interested in adopting the same. Specifically, SUVIDYA has identified Math, Kannada and Science as the priority areas.
