Primary Coaching Homes
  • Assist in homework
  • Practice lessons
    There is a large number of primary students in Grade III through V whose parents cannot look after their ward's homeworks, because they are either busy earning to make their ends meet, or are not literate enough to understand the school homeworks. As a result, the children become demotivated at attending school. To make things worse (apparently better in the eyes of the school administration), there is no pass/fail exam held till the end of Grade V. Thus many children in the state-run primary schools stick to their classes until the end (Grade V), at which point they opt to drop out as their poor knowledge acquired does not make them able to cope with the pressure of a pass/fail exam.

    Primary Coaching Homes are established targeting these school children. The Homes run in volunteer's premises or in other public facilities in convenient after-school hours, where the volunteer picks up the role of teacher.

    Helping to complete their homework motivates the kids to come to attend a Coaching Home. Ananya Pal, daughter of a rickshaw-puller, is a student of class V, who now reads English sentences very well. She wants to be an "auntee" at school, when she grows up. Amar Das (class V) and Samar Das (class IV) are very intelligent, but don't study at home. Their father is an ironer (ironing clothes at the street-side) does not have the ability to coach them at home. The Das brothers want to do office jobs when they grow up.
