2013

While Kappy and I (and Ismail) get the 2012 financial reports ready, the teachers are working hard to implement new ideas in their lesson plans. As usual, we have delays in government salaries for these teachers and delays in payments for various other needs at the school. Kappy is working on ways to help with the cash flow. She spoke to several area papers and received a good response from readers, some went to the trouble to call in and push the government to deliver these payments. Kappy is amazing. In more good news, the Mahindra Foundation is donating salary for a computer teacher for the Rainbow School for the next school year.

The children were sharp, completely up on their marks. The teachers were creative, driven, relentless. More to come!

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.
