OBJECTIVES:
1) To supplement and enrich learning experiences for children who are having
difficulty in coping with school with special reference to first generation learners.
2) To Strengthen the existing momentum in “Education for All†as per the
Sarva Siksha Abhiyan –Government of India program for teachers.

There is nearly a 30% school drop out rate between 5th and 7th grade.
Programs like the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan –Government of India

deal with children having learning disorders every school under our

Methodology:

local principals and teachers of the target schools.
3) In-service training : An intensive in-service training will be given to the
teachers. The topics will be based on the curriculum set
by the state government. Specific sessions on problems in
learning and the academic area that the school specifies.
preparation of teaching aids: Appropriate visual aids will be made,
based on the school needs.
Monitoring: Once the children with academic problems are identified, the trained staff will teach these children. The program will be evaluated by a pretest – (for baseline data)- continuous evaluation ( for optimum program benefit)- Post testing ( for finding the impact of Vidya on the academic performance of these beneficiaries)
Target Population: Children from the economically and educationally deprived homes (first time learners), who are attending main stream schools. (Teachers from 16 schools when informally interviewed have opined that, there are about 300 children with difficulties in their schools)
Target Area : Rural schools in and around Harrohalli, Kanakapura Taluk in
Bangalore Rural District. which is about 50 Km from Bangalore
