Higher Secondary School, Nandambakkam, Chennai resulting in quality education at school and promising future goals and career aspirations.” Aanchal Singh, Executive Director of KHUSHII said.

On December 2019, a stakeholder workshop was organized in the school to discuss the objective and vision of the programme. Stakeholders from school (Headmaster & teachers), representatives from Newgen and the partner NGO  participated in the workshop. Moving forward, these stakeholders will play a very crucial role in executing the programme and capturing the impact.

Under the programme, teachers in Spoken English (1), English language (1) and Social Science (2) will be provided to the school as resources which will strengthen the basics of the students. Counselling support by providing a certified counsellor, extracurricular activities and events will be organized. Additionally, channelization of resources to train teachers and monthly maintenance of sanitation facilities will be undertaken to improve the learning experience for children. Thus partnership will address the challenges of low Pupil-Teacher Ratio, low learning levels and drop-out in the intervention school.
