What we are proud of We are proud of
all our partners (students and teachers) who have used our
program so successfully. We are proud of our innovative and
proven methodology that has been acclaimed globally and we
believe that we can give a positive direction to primary
education within our country and outside our country.
It should be noted that the impact of the programme is not
only on the children it currently reaches out to, but to the
hundreds of teachers that are regularly trained through RIVER
Programme, and the schools that access this learning from
different parts of India. Over a decade the number of schools
using this model has grown from 16 to 25,000. We have several
enriching partnerships, all across India with government
bodies and NGOs. Presently, we are involved in our most
ambitious program with UNICEF and the Govt. of India, for
implementing our model in 1000 schools in each of the 12
project states, which we hope will become models for many
others. If one calculates on an average around 30 children per
school the total number of children benefited from RIVER model
would workout to 7,50,000. These child-friendly approaches
would have empowered and benefited similarly around 25,000
teachers across the country in enriching their teaching
learning skills and their vision towards a common sense
quality school. Thus this small laboratory of twelve rural
schools and the Resource Centre at RIVER has benefited
mainstream education programs all over the country and is
widely accepted as a great contribution to high quality rural
education. That is something we are proud of. |
