In-Class Teaching – The Challenge

Separator

India has achieved near-universal school enrollment, with 97.2% of children in school by 2018. However, learning outcomes remain critically low, especially in government schools. Over 70% of Class 3 students lack basic reading and math skills essential for future learning.

Beyond academics, many students struggle with curiosity and critical thinking, limiting their lifelong opportunities and success.

  • Trivika

    Hi, my name is Trivika. I am going to Std. 9. I had gone to meet my relatives in my hometown, Benaras. I really enjoyed meeting them and spending time with them. The next day, my father and relatives were talking about my studies. My father called me and asked me what I want to become when I grow up. I replied in English that I hadn’t decided. My relatives were astonished that I could express myself so well in English, and my grandmother wanted to know where I had learnt to speak. I told them that I had learnt English from my Pehlay Akshar Didi, who teaches us, talks to us and tells us stories in English.

  • Siddhi Kadam

    I am Siddhi Kadam. I had once gone with my mother to her workplace. Everyone there spoke among themselves in English, but they spoke to me in Hindi. They thought I didn’t know how to speak English. But when they asked me questions in Hindi, I surprised them by answering in English. I was very happy to explain to them that I had been learning English from my Pehlay Akshar teacher since Std. 4. Now I’m going to Std. 8 and I will keep learning.
