Learning in Rural Classrooms

Teachers in rural schools are often inadequately trained, overworked with many different responsibilities, or just absent. In many rural schools, teachers have to often take on multiples roles, such as administering midday meals, assisting in immunization programs, aiding healthcare, and raising social awareness, amongst others. The teacher-to-student ratio is extremely steep, with many teachers taking on multiple grades and subjects to fill the need. More often than not, a teacher may not even have the resources to assist in classes, apart from the mere chalk and blackboards. When compared with urban schools, which have now moved to digitized interactive content, such basic amenities are no longer sufficient.

Moreover, the school teachers see this interaction, and it stands as a model of how they could bond with the kids and build better understanding. Teachers in rural schools face a unique set of challenges: they are overburdened with work, often the kind of work they are not trained for and which does not come under the purview of a teacher. So beyond training, we aim to consistently give them optimism and support to find solutions together. Sometimes, they need to put in more energy than a normal teacher in a normal situation, invest more time, and often get less in return in monetary terms. It is the happiness and growth of the children that are the only rewards. And as long as that drives them, we will never run out of energy. We will always have more time. And we will keep learning and growing together.
