of Children
Over
the past year about 15,000 - 20,000 out of school children in slums
all over the city have been inducted into Education Centres wherever
needed in their own wards all over the city. The scheme has been accomplished
by the KRGEDUC (whose Convenor is S.M.Cyril) with the help of 60 NGOs
and about 1000 young unemployed but educated youth from those very paras
where the children have been found. The funding for this has come from
DPEP and the Education Department of Government of West Bengal has given
the text books free.
These youth have been
trained (with funding from UNICEF) by Loreto Sealdah as effective primary
teachers, and are now operating in about 400 centres all over the city.
The trunks seen at the back are being used in their centres.
LDS has played a very significant role in getting all this off the ground
and in training to date 1083 teachers who are handling nearly 20,000
children. LDS is responsible for not only training but for distribution
of materials for each centre of 50 children. This involves a lot of
counting and packaging for quick distribution – all done by Loreto
Sealdah students.
