One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back.

Education

Education is a unique programmed where the school comes home, virtually to the doorstep of the student. Making the learning process exciting, novel and convenient, the Education  is a well-equipped bus which is mobile and it moves with teachers to different locations. It has on board computers, television and other essential education related materials.

Anugrah Jansewa Mandali Trust  is working to promote the Education model in Delhi. As part of the project, the Education bus moves in the project locations following a carefully prepared roster/schedule. The classes are conducted inside and outside the bus. Two batches of 25 students each are available at each location. At the end of a single day, learning exposure is provided to nearly 100 students.

The key objective of the project is to reach the vast majority of children who are living in vulnerable conditions and are unable to access education in a favourable learning environment. It aims to educate children living on the streets and in impoverished neighbourhoods by providing them functional literacy so they can manage their lives better and be an asset to their families and society. It is designed to enable non-school going children to acquire minimum knowledge and skills and mainstreaming them in formal schools.

It first identifies non-school going children from slum areas and then sees what is more suitable to their situation and setting – whether they will benefit more from remedial education or from non-formal education. Remedial classes are for those who have dropped out.  In both instances, students are brought to a level where they can take the Open Basic Examination conducted by the Government of India. Once they clear the exam, they are given the option of getting mainstreamed into formal education system.
