The Hindu
A mission to bring slow learners and lockdown-induced dropouts on a par with regular students is beginning to bear fruit
The two-room Salpara Lower Primary School has been the landmark of Rongsai village since 1994. But the centre of attention has been a shed the villagers built on the school’s compound 23 months ago.
The shed is where Karishma Rabha helped Rajmahanta and Utpal — two of more than a dozen COVID lockdown-induced dropouts — relearn their basics and more to be promoted to Class 6 at the Bodahapur High School nearby.
