Sunita Gandhi launches Global Dream Shaala on Human Rights Day in Uttar Pradesh
Lucknow, December 10 : Dr. Sunita Gandhi, Founder, Global Classroom Private Limited (GCPL) & Global Education & Training Institute (GETI) launched the first Global Dream Shaala, an initiative for providing free education to out of school children starting with Uttar Pradesh today on Human Rights Day. The event, marking the collaboration between DEVI Sansthan and SBI Life, was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, Smt. Sanyukta Bhatia, Mayor of Lucknow by lighting the lamp of learning. It is worth mentioning here that the literacy programme is the first-of-its-kind exponentially scalable model that aims at making people literate using the Global Dream Toolkit which is a vastly alternative way of teaching that accelerates learning. It has two-fold objective of firstly providing an education to the children who are out of school and secondly to make adults literate.
Inaugurating the
Global Dream Shaala programme, the Chief Guest, Mrs Sanyukta Bhatia said that we are committed to provide high-quality
education to one and all. It is a matter of great pleasure that with the help
of Global Dream Shaala and Global Dream Toolkits, the underprivileged will be
introduced to new and innovative ways of learning. We appreciate the efforts of
Dr. Sunita Gandhi and DEVI Sansthan in providing transformative education to
the underprivileged kids.
Speaking about the
launch, Dr. Sunita Gandhi, Founder, Global Classroom Private Limited (GCPL)
& Global Education & Training Institute (GETI) said, "Our primary objective with Global
Dream Shaala is to provide a zero cost scale-up model of learning that is both
quick and effective, and that makes learning gain real every day. This keeps
the motivation of both volunteers and learners high."
A pilot of this
approach was already carried out with 22 women volunteers in Karauni in the
Sarojini Nagar Block of Lucknow. Soon, these women turned teachers and within
the first few months prepared 180 women to take the NLM Basic Literacy Exam by
NIOS. Together, they made more than 800 women in Karauni capable of reading,
writing, numeracy. Later, the program was carried out in other cities targeted
to educate underprivileged children, adults and their mentors. This curriculum
which was originally made in 2014, has been launched in slums, villages,
government schools, and among school children in Lucknow and other cities in
Uttar Pradesh and eight other States of India, some of it in collaboration with
other NGOs and organizations such as Magic Bus and Pratham.
