Education
This is the Best Tool for All development
IPER believes that every child, regardless of their socio-economic background, deserves access to quality education that will empower them for a better future. IPER advocates for inclusive and equitable access to education for all children, especially those from marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring equal opportunities for every child to reach their full potential. IPER is working extensively on SDG #4 – Quality Education for all. Education is a transformative force that can break the cycle of poverty and empower children to overcome adversity, ultimately changing the trajectory of their lives for the better.
Learning Wonders ~ A Quality Learning Centre at Pre-Primary & Primary Stages
In line with IPER’s commitment for quality education for under-privileged children, an English medium co-educational, experiential learning initiative for children ‘Learning Wonders’ was set up in 2011. Children are admitted from the age of 2+ till 10 years. The Centre runs for five days a week for 4 hours a day.
SMILE Foundation – Programme on ‘Every Child in School’ ECiS
The project on ‘Every Child in School’ ECiS with focus on education of the under-privileged children’ is operational in 2 KMC Wards, 93 & 94, with 120 children coming from local slums. The project is partly supported by Smile Foundation the rest is generated by IPER through ‘Action-For-Children’ efforts. The gender ratio of the children attending is approximately 40:60, girls outnumbering the boys. A few children who show behavioural problems are attended by special teachers along with counselling too is carried out with them.
The project focuses on bridging the gap between the actual level of achievement and expected age and class-appropriate level of learning competencies, as most of the children are found to lag behind the expected levels of achievement. Special remedial classes are held at IPER on language and arithmetic and science subjects. The students range from classes Pre-primary to Class VI. They also attend computer literacy classes. Provisions for Yoga as well as creative work sessions are held.
