Adding Quality to Education initiative if of getting involved in non-functional and dysfunctional primary schools in the area through Community Committees. The approach is to look at education from the Consumer Perspective rather than from the Provider Perspective. The aim is not to sort out the hassles in the Govt Education Department or even to challenge erring teachers. It is to give children the opportunity of quality primary education, by placing motivated, home-trained Adivasi youth as Community Teachers in the existing schools or created centers.
Asha to support Adding Quality to Education (AQTE ) work n Clusters A (Daklguda Area) and C (Sahada-Dukum-Hazardangu Area).At present, there are 6 such centres already functioning – at Kakaramaska, Madua, Darukona, Kondaguda, Kiribiri and Panchubadi.
