New Teachers


We found out the preschool funding was short, the entire education budget is short for the state. So they are helping to fund preschools out of the health budget, and the preschools are called an anganwadi (like a feeding center/creche) but they are still preschools and under the watch of the education ministry.

We also have a new headmaster and teachers! We will get pictures soon. And maybe even video!

ECE: Vacant, we have a great lead on someone.
1st Class: Laxmi Devi and assistant teacher Renuka.
2nd Class A: Divya, B, Sunitha - two of our original teachers
3rd Class, Gowri - one of our original teachers
4th Class: Manjula
5th Class: We have a teacher assigned to us, but this may not work out and we will find someone.

Our new headmaster is Ramulu. Here he is!

Globally, there are three populations of students that need to close the education gap. 1. 52 million children globally not in school at all. Most are out of school for one or more of these reasons: conflict/no public services (fragile state), lack of legal papers, migrants, or they are female. Migration is a big issue in our area around the Rainbow School. 2. 200 million children globally are in school, but suffer from poor in-class teaching. These students cannot read at grade level.
