Focus Girl Child Education in Rural Villages

Dear Patrons,

Thank you so much for your continued interest and support to VET. We are indeed overwhelmed by your support, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We would like to update you on the further steps that we have taken to get the education going for the Indian rural children. While our schools are currently closed, we have introduced new ways of reaching out to the students and the parents, and continuing to educate the children during the coronavirus lockdown. Please find below a couple of steps that we have taken, in this report.

Home Schooling

VET has launched home learning programs to engage students and teachers.Those home–based activities which find favour among pupils and academicians are being implemented on a larger scale. Projects which do not achieve the desired results are
being modified to improve acceptability.

Classrooms on Whatsapp

The lockdown has blurred the distinction between homework and classwork for the students. We have overcome the hurdle posed by the pandemic by sending lessons via WhatsApp groups. Our teachers prepare short audio/video notes and post them on the groups. Students submit the completed assignments in the same groups. A record of students’ responses is also being maintained.

To help students who need extra attention to catch up with their classmates the Central Academic Team sends worksheets on subjects like Tamil, English and Mathematics.

We hope that you are excited like us as we continue to educate the children in spite of the lockdown. We are continually monitoring the situations in the communities that we serve in through Whatsapp feedback from parents and communicating through the community leaders. We will keep you updated on the happenings.

Thank you again for your support, and look forward for your continued engagement and support! Please feel free to write to us in case if you have questions, or if you would like to help us in any ways possible.
