Back in Action

Samerth believes in increasing accountability of the Public Education System (including schools and anganwadis) so that local government bodies can take positive steps to address issues related to inequality by ensuring the creation of a universal, quality public education system for children ages 3-14 years.

Awareness is the Key

Posters with instructions to wear masks and maintain social distancing have been put up at various places at Prathamik School, Ahmedabad.

Making School Reopening Inclusive

Bangalore-based Shradhanjali Integrated Primary School (SIS) has designed a separate SOP keeping in mind the needs of Children with Disabilities (CwDs). At the school, CwDs have easy access to sanitizers, masks, daily temperature checks, etc. Shradhanjali Integrated Primary School (SIS) is a partner of The Association of People with Disability (APD), and supports inclusive education.

Most children with disabilities enrolled at SIS come from Below Poverty Line (BPL) and lower middle class families. Parents are happy to see the school reopen and are in constant touch with the school to make the reopening a safe experience for all.
