Government is aiming to concentrate on right to

education rather than right education

It is a good sign that there has been progress , most

probably in school enrollment rate with around 96% of

all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years.

But the quality remains questionable as half of 10

year olds could not even reach to the standardexpected of 6 Year olds.

2012 was the year of mathematics , but it has

been a bad year for basic arithmetic for childrenin India as 76% of grade 4 cant do even simple

division problems.

There are many dropouts after primary education

without even learning how to put their Signature

on a paper.


3/12

Existing system focuses on imparting information

rather than applying knowledge

The Indian education system was designed by the British rulers to help the fewBritish administrators not to promote thought and encourage a culture of curiosity.

There is a high Communication gap between teacher and children; No significant

leaning can occur with out significant relationship.

Traditional way of evaluation, marks/score is a debatable issue.

Low attendance of teachers as well as students matter of concern.

Lack of proper infrastructure and Obnoxious sanitary facilities.

A breed of students are created who doesnt add value.

Hence we propose our model- The PRERANA


4/12

GDP of a country depends on quality of education not

only on quantity

If quality in education is not provided, a pool of

graduates will be created who are unproductive

and even incompetent.

Allocation of only 2 percent budget in SarvaShiksha Abhiyan(SSA) to improve quality of

education is a matter of concern.

Teaching module for primary students

Abacus: A magic tool to make brain smarter . The

simplicity of the device and its look makes

children feel it just like their toy and never let

them feel bored while performing calculations on

it, thereby increasing their calculation speeddramatically

Learning through Games: Games like word

building, speedy speller etc. not only provide

amusement but also knowledge.

Video based learning: Video based instruction

provides the opportunity for clearer

communication between student and instructor

and/or between student and student. If A

Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, What Is A

Video Worth?


8/12

Teaching module for upper-primary students

Vedic Maths: Though, Vedic maths has its origins

in India, today, most of the students are unaware

of this powerfully easy calculating tool.

Shakuntala Devi puzzles: Puzzles provide that

key opportunity to exercise studentsbrains. Puzzles are a fun educational toy that

challenges young minds, teaching and preparing

them early in life some very important life skills.

Interactive physics using Java Applets: A Few

physics concepts not require just a video to grasp

the concept, but an interactive application to

consider different cases of the same concept.

E-learning: Self-paced learning modules allow

students to study from anywhere.

PRERANAWorking Process

Top level team is recruited based on various criteria. The skillsdevelopment team imparts skills to the selected graduates using PRERANAmethodology.

Each trained graduate student goes to a primary school assigned to himand teaches the school students of a particular class in association withthe teacher already present.

Students are made to intern in schools allotted to them by recruitmentteam.

The class assigned to him is on the basis of his grade(based on hisperformance). A newbie is given a C-grade and is made to teach primaryschool students. As his skill and performance is increased, he is given B-grade, followed by an A-grade. As his grade improves, he is allowed toteach upper primary students.

Certificates are dispensed to the trained graduate students which wouldbe a feather in his cap and can be used in his future endeavors.

Primary Benefits:

Children learn on their our pace.

Children's participation in every step is ensured in the process of learning.

Scope for child's development in creative and communicative skills; No significant learningcan occur without a significant relationship.

Enhancement of questioning attitude because students questions are real seeds of learning.

Secondary Benefits:

Indulging youth in the whole process not only improves their productivity but also makesthem weather the diverse and difficult situations of real world.

Soft skills enhancement of students since teaching is the greatest of the arts since themedium is human mind and spirit.

Leadership skills improvement because teachingis leadership

Amelioration of GDP of the nation


11/12

Though a minimal amount, government would be sceptical about funding this

project.

Motivating the graduates to engage with PRERANA might be challenging.

Recruitment of the prime team is a tedious task.

Evaluating the graduate so as to grade him is not easy.

Quality growth measurement is challenging

Challenges

Mitigating Factors

Voluntary donations are accepted.

In course of time, the increasing efficacy of the certificates, will motivate the

students to actively associate with PRERANA
