Parents, teachers join hands to help children in government and aided schools in Tiruchi through group study
The HinduA self-learning programme has been introduced for students of eight government and aided schools in Tiruchi with the support of the respective school management committees and parents to address learning gaps among children from poor families. As teachers observed that the lack of adequate study at home adversely affected students’ education, they, in order to tackle the issue with parental support, established self-learning centres for students in Classes I to V in government and aided schools in the district. At present, eight schools, including corporation and government schools at Srirangam, Thiruvanaikoil, Uppiliapuram, and Shri Shanmuga Middle School and ORR Aided Middle School in Srirangam, and Government Aided Middle School in Venkatachalapuram, have implemented the initiative in their schools. After school hours, children receive education through the self-learning centres, where parents, especially women, bring children from their neighbourhoods to study together, encouraging peer learning and imitation.
