Bettering English Education In Government Schools

KBGVolunteers, in conjunction with ILID-Achalabharathi, have embarked on their first, long-term program of bettering English education in government schools.

It is undeniable that higher paying jobs demand a good grasp of the English language. In order to better equip our children for the future, the KBGVolunteers partnered with ILID-Achalabharathi, an NGO which does just that.

Education involves much research. What should the subject matter be? What is the best way to hold children's interest and make the learning memorable? How does one measure success? ILID-Achalabharathi has been dealing with such questions for many years now. Having taught in innumerable rural schools, they have had the opportunity to develop an engaging, interactive media based program they call Pygmalion-Vanasuma. The subject matter aligns closely with what the State's education board prescribes so that the program does not become a burden on the already overworked teachers.

On April 9th, KBGVolunteers invited principals and teachers of ten government schools in the Byatarayanapura constituency to an introductory seminar. The seminar also involved corporators, volunteers and sponsors. The seminar talked about what the program involves and what each of them were expected to do. Questions and apprehensions were aired and solutions were discussed. The event was a positive one and Pygmalion-Vanasuma is scheduled to start in June, beginning with the training of teachers.

KBGVolunteers is involved in making sure that the pilot program runs successfully for the academic year. From procuring computers from donors to liaising with schools, the KBGVolunteers will act as a support structure. If the pilot proves successful, we can expand the program to include more children and extend the program for many more years. We are deeply excited!
