Government School Support Program

Isha Vidhya carried out critical interventions in 18 rural Government schools in the districts of Tirupur, and Salem in Tamil Nadu, impacting 1,000 students and 40 teachers.

How We Did It

The Problem

The learnings from running Isha Vidhya, which cater to an identical profile of students at government schools, had led to effective methodologies that helped government schools deal with some of their biggest issues. These included unmotivated teachers, large numbers of students lagging behind and poor English skills – all of which result in poor learning outcomes.

The Solution

Isha Vidhya provided the following trainings and programs to tackle these issues:

Happy Classroom Workshop for Teachers: An interactive workshop that helped teachers stay self-motivated. It provided tools for child-centric teaching, motivational tools for maintaining discipline, and making learning interactive and participative. The workshop helped teachers focus on learning outcomes and evaluated a child's level of understanding on a continuous basis.
Remedial Program: Developed by Isha Vidhya to accelerate the learning outcomes of children who were considerably behind their levels and allowed them to get mainstreamed within a year or two.
Special English Program: A multi-sensory program that teaches language the natural way and greatly enhances English speaking, reading and comprehension capabilities within 2 to 3 years.
Programs Beyond Curriculum: In Tamil Nadu, yoga, sports, health awareness, environmental awareness and career guidance programs were also implemented in high schools.
