Dear Donors, Well Wishers!!

Greetings from BPA!!!

We are so happy to share our ex-student who graduated from std 8th has successfully passed his  12th Board exam with Flying Marks( 89%). He has conveyed his gratitude to school teachers, the DOnor who supported his education at the foundation stage. 

we are so thrilled to share with you that after two years of the long gap in classroom education in our inclusive school was rebegun in February 2022. it was an incredible moment for teachers non-academic staff, students, and parents to meet each other after long periods. Teachers were so excited and emotional to welcome the students to the school, they planned a special welcome programme for the students. The students were also excited, to meet their friends, classmates and teachers. 

The academic work was started with literacy, Reading, Writing, Numbercy assessments for Grade 1 to 4 Students. The Assessment report was a little disappointed as the online education has helped the student to understand the concept, but at the same time, it has affected the reading, writing and numeracy skill of the students of grade 1 to grade 4. The teachers also felt that digital education was good but classroom education plays a very important role in developing skills among students.

The teachers have made extra efforts to bring up the skill level of students, they have arranged extra classes after/ before school hours and special batches during the vacation time. this has helped to improve their skill in reading, writing and numeracy. We appreciate the hard work, Dedication, and commitment of the teachers. 

The Teachers also prepared Teaching learning materials in an accessible format, also conducted home visits of children with disabilities and conducted enrollment drives in the villages. In this Academic year we aim to provide quality education to children with disabilities and non-disabilities in an inclusive school set-up,l the strength will be 478 students majority are from very poor financial backgrounds. 

We request you to continue your support for this project that will motivate our teachers for improving education services. Kindly Please share this report and project with your friends, family members and life mandate people, Motivate them to be a part of Change.

Looking forward to your everlasting support for this project. 

Thanking You,
