Getting kids to school

Our team make every effort to increase admission by:

Planning village visits:

The staff and principal hold regular meetings to brain storm ways to raise awareness with the parents in villages of the importance of education and our school.

Some of the teachers went to some villages, like Sabalharh, Rajgarh, Katawali to distributed leaflets door to door about the school.

Whilst the world is getting used to digital marketing, most of the small villages are not used to this sort of advertising and would probably not see it.  As an alternative the team created and put banners up in prominent places to promote education and the school.

WORKSHOP – GIRLS EDUCATION

Our Principal Meenakshi Sharma gave a workshop girls’ education as part of our girls education programme.  She stressed the importance of education and how it can  transforms communities, countries, and even the entire world. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families.

Girls’ education strengthens economies and reduces inequality. It contributes to more stable, resilient societies that give all individuals, including boys and men.  It also gives women the opportunity to fulfil their potential. She explained why it’s so important for girls to be educated:

  • National growth rates rise
  • Child marriage rates decline
  • Child mortality rates fall
  • Maternal mortality rates fall
  • Child stunting drops
