Doddahulluru school visit

The amazing public school at Doddahulluru is a living demonstrator of values that we hold dear in Sikshana. Students in this school talked to us about their pet projects with great enthusiasm. Teachers were relaxed and moved freely with students. When I accompanied ESR to this school, I met children of migrant workers who not only spoke fluent Hindi and Kannada but were also reading and writing in these languages. Their teachers showed the rapid progress these children achieve in their school. The pictures and video clips below tell their own story:

Picture above shows the progress in writing of a new student in fifth standard after about a month of practice and the one below shows the progress to sentence level after about two months:


Apart from writing sheets, the students also practice on workbooks. One teacher showed me the progress of a fifth standard student who joined their school this year from the state of Orissa.


These miraculous progress is not just restricted to copy writing but also speaking and reading as this teacher explains:

One fifth grader who had joined the school last year, stepped up to "interview" his classmate who had just joined this year:

This is not just a one-off case. The teachers assured us that every student will acquired 3Rs by the end of the academic year. The school has been consistently winning trophies in district and state level sports and arts competitions. They also readily stepped up to the challenge of joining hands with teachers in all other five schools in their cluster and ensure that every student gets a solid foundation before joining high school.

It was such a great pleasure to meet teachers so dedicated to equitable and scalable public education..
