Education

Education is a weapon for the poor and an ornament for the rich.

At SPHOORTI, we strive to provide access to quality education - in school as well as outside. Education is not limited to schooling, passing examinations and jumping to higher grades. We impart discipline, soft skills, lessons from life experiences, and spiritual education.

All children attend a nearby private school - Vignan Scientific School which is about a kilometer away from the Home. The school imparts education in English medium.

In the morning, elder children wake up around 5.30 am and spend an hour on Mathematics alone. After returning from school, children spend around 3 hours on their homework assignments and studying their subjects.

We have an in-house mentorship system wherein the younger children are monitored and, when necessary, tutored by their elder brothers and sisters. Some of the children who have not fared well in school examinations are put on a watch list and continuously monitored by their peers and elder children. The younger kids are given assignments on improving their handwriting, alphabet and numbers and drawing.

Besides school education, we teach kids discipline and to some extent, personality development. In particular, a lot of focus is on behavioral traits - behaving with other children, with elders and visitors, in school and outside the Home. We build camaraderie among children by assigning them tasks and encouraging them to work in teams. As children grow up, we will concentrate more on soft skills and personality development.

Some of our friends give tips on drawing and painting and some teach new dance steps. We intend to teach classical dance and music to some children who have the talent and interest.

As far as we can, we will provide all possible educational opportunities, preferably professional education, to all our children. Our entire efforts in providing quality primary and secondary education and emphasis on personality development are directed towards creating responsible citizens for our nation.

And for this, we will give whatever it takes.
