With this collaboration, a teaching module was developed, incorporating 21st century interactive methodologies.

 

A Program that Grows Communities

Achievements and Impact

 

The Program aims to ensure that academically challenged pupils are not neglected and are continually empowered to learn.

Active class participation, analytical and creative thinking skills of the pupils' have gradually increased and this was well displayed during their final performance. The advantages of the Program is that pupils' are given a platform to share their thoughts and provide suggestions and this evident from the storyline developed during their script play. A research was conducted by a pool of independent researchers from the Teacher Training Institute. The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of the program.

The Foundation, in collaboration with IPGKBA, will be developing Train the Trainer Program to impart fun learning techniques to teachers who will carry out this programme for rural schools.
