Parents Meeting-

Parents along with their sibling attended meeting. HM,Local Coordinator along with the eVidyaloka team members headed discussion on few objectives to know more about the parents perception on education.

Most of the parents do not know reading and writing and hence the children are first generation learners. But parents do understand the importance of education, and they dream with better education their children will be able to get good jobs. They have different aims like doctor, teacher, engineer, army officer etc. This shows the enthusiasm among these parents is very high, it’s just the lack of resources due to which they are unable to get what they deserve. They really appreciated evidyaloka’s work. Their joy reclaimed when they are happily willing to send their kids to school.

We interviewed few parents and here is some glimpse of that:

Participant 2- Earlier every day he was forcing the child to go for school. Now child wakes up early and she orders him to get ready soon and reach school on time. Online teaching helping the student to speak more English words which is making parents to feel proud in village.

Participant 1- His son comes back home and shares the lesson taught by Online teacher which is making other neighbour children listen more about the new things.

Participant 3- In TV how can a teacher be connected had a question in the mind. HM made to attend one class along with the students, after watching the class she was amazed to see the English class where the teacher replied looked at her and asked few questions on the village.

Participant 8- We missed the opportunities in life but whole heartily wish all the children should read well and go to good job none other than the coolie work which they are doing. Her daughter is happily explains English words to her younger brother.
