To have a strong foundation of any community it is very important to have a good education system. To make the new generation literate there exist many institutions including the government organization. But India’s current economic, political, and bureaucratic institutions are often unable to deliver quality education to the people in most need of it. Government schools are often under-funded and over-crowded. One of the major problems is the scarcity of teachers. Building of a strong educational foundation at primary level is of immeasurable importance to minimize toughness of the higher education. The social development of any community depends on the high rate of literacy. Therefore to supplement the teachers’ vacancies in Government Primary Schools in rural and remote areas and keep the study on we decided to take help of international volunteers so that solid base of education at primary level is constituted and the children are prepared to accept challenge of higher education fearlessly in future.
The activities you’ll be doing
Teaching Program is run in Government Primary Schools in rural areas of different state of India. The volunteers will work in the schools and organize various enjoyable and creative activities for the children to sharpen their talents and increase the knowledge. The volunteers work continuously to explore the hidden talent in the children and to promote them. Local children also learn different skills and methodologies in study programs from volunteers that they otherwise would not learn. A mutual exchange of skills and experiences enrich both the ends. The volunteers might find that they learn as much as from them as they from the volunteers. The volunteers will assist in a wide variety of chosen subjects and activities, including English, Mathematics, arts and sports. Since volunteer activities are organized in Government Schools where acute shortage of teachers exists, the volunteers are therefore expected to focus mainly on the syllabus being taught in the Schools.
A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.

It was an enjoyable experience that allowed me to mix with a local population, help them improving their English skills, and see the local area whilst living in comfortable, relaxed environment. It is great to see the kid’s enjoyment at your presence and efforts and too also see improvements in their English. I had an enjoyable and rewarding time during the volunteer teaching in govt. primary school.
