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!

MobilesForGood: EDU

Together with the students, parents, and teaching team, we did it. Ten years of the Rainbow Primary School. Our school is a government-funded, local-language (Telugu) school that serves 230 children every day absolutely free. We celebrated by opening  an after-school center last month with the best education NGO in the world, Pratham. For the past five years, I've worked on research projects and helped NGOs that have an interest in developing mobile tools for learning. 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.

Our New After School Center

Rambabu, the Pratham leader for our state (Telangana) and his team are amazing. The Rainbow School now has an after school center, and after school tutoring program, and an in-school teacher training program. The after school program now has computer training! These computers will be used for some of the older kids, and I'm sure we'll get a lot more tech once things start rolling. 1. We now have four teachers working full-time at our after school center.  2. In the after school program, we have over 40 students and expect 20 more teenagers when computer and English instruction officially begin. 3. Letters to our sister school in Miami continue. 4. Our Rainbow School continues to host after-school activities as well!
