Description

For many students in government schools, failing in class X, often forces them to leave school. Students usually struggle most with English, Science and Mathematics (SEM). There are often shortages of teachers in government schools for SEM subjects. The Shiksha Sambal project aims to address these challenges by strengthening the learning of SEM subjects. This Flagship Project by HZL is being implemented in 55 senior government schools located in communities around the company’s operations, across Ajmer, Bhilwada, Chittorgarh, Rajsamand and Udaipur districts of Rajasthan. Siksha Sambal reaches out to over 7,000 students from classes 9th to 12th. The project works on the following two-pronged strategy:

• Working with students by providing support classes & study materials, conducting residential camps, remedial classes and regular assessments
• Working with schools for improving learning environment by providing subject specialists instructors, establishing science labs and libraries, providing study materials for teachers and organizing teachers training

The project also has a unique Mentorship provision, wherein HZL employees provide outside school support to children. The project is being implemented in partnership with Vidya Bhawan Society, Udaipur.

Objective

To improve the learning environment and outcomes (with special focus on science, maths and English) among children studying in classes 9th to 12th in the government schools in HZL’s operational area.
