Ensuring children have access to quality learning in village neighborhoods
The CherYsh Shikshas (After-school Learning Centres) target all-round development of children through quality support to their learning needs. The goal of the CherYsh Shikshas is to encourage neighbourhood-learning spaces where children enjoy learning, nurture aspirations, and thereby progress.
The CherYsh Shikshas incorporate vibrant curricular and co-curricular modules. The focus is to improve crucial competencies such as English language skills, Numerical Skills (Maths), and Computer knowledge. This is combined with active spotting of talent (performing arts, sports and music) and participation in activities to promote such talents.
The centres are located in village neighbourhoods: the home of a community member, or a common room. Educated young women from each village are selected to teach at the CherYsh Shikshas.
The Learning Facilitator (Tutor)
The tutors are provided continuous training – via direct content-specific training as per an Active Rural Curriculum with activity enhanced lesson plans. CherYsh Trainers provide regular training and track the Facilitators’ improvement. Regular reports on Learning Facilitator assessment of skills are maintained.
