There is more than 50% dropout rate during primary education

• About 39% of primary and 54.6% of upper primary students are dropout

• Teacher student ratio national average is 34 but in some states it is as high as 68.

CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM

• Financial condition of family

• Unawareness among adult about

education

• Insufficient quality and quantity of

teachers

Proposed Solution

• As there are insufficient number of teachers in schools, so the students of upper class(vi to viii) will teach the student of lower classes coherently with their own education.

• To lure the families of the village children, proper stipend (amount of Rs 200) will be provided to those students who are teaching.

• A PPP(Public Private Partnership) model can be very helpful in fulfilling the infrastructure need for the village level school.

Students of upper primary classes(vi to viii) will teach the

student of primary classes coherently with their own education

Solution

Challenges faced by our model

•To identify the NGOs willing to participate in our model.

•Development of institute to develop teachers

•Training of Higher class Students to teach the students of lower class.

BUDGET

We are paying Rs.200 to each student per month

Therefore for around 12 crores (registered student)

for one year =28800 crores For Per student Cost of mid day meal per month= Rs.105

and we are paying Rs. 200

So, we are saving around Rs. 95 per student.
