Hyderabad: Teach For Change launched its 2016 campaign of the Passionate Foundation’s English Programme that is aimed at supporting English in government high schools.
Deccan Chronicle supports Teach for Change in its initiative. Actor Sushmita Sen, who was part of the event at Taj Falaknuma, urged citizens to volunteer for the 2016 academic year.
Anyone with a passion to bring about change and who can spare two hours every Saturday can volunteer with Teach for Change. The programme is active in 100 government high schools in Hyderabad and 10 each in Vijayawada. Chennai and Bengaluru.
Teach founder CEO Chaitanya M.R.S.K. said, “The programme focuses on enhancing exposure to spoken English while introducing students to entry-level reading and writing skills. Since the programme is delivered by a teacher, an innovative teacher-training package has been devised to build confidence and increase the capacity of the teacher. The supporting teaching-learning material is child and teacher-friendly and set in a contextual framework.”
“The key elements of the programme are teacher training and simple, attractive teaching-learning material. There is a need for volunteers in Hyderabad, Chennai and Karnataka. Anybody who has the passion and can spare some time can join us as volunteers,” added Mr Chaitanya.
