Every one of us, when we look back and revisit that defining moment that shaped us, we are sure to find behind the limelight - a wonderful teacher.
Yet today, the lack of respect towards the profession has resulted in our nation to attract role models into the profession who can incept values in learners in their formative years.
Result? A large part of the nation today, not seeking knowledge, not seeking happiness beyond money, not valuing a heroic the personality of principles, lacking in sensitivity, civic concern, tolerance and at times, even, objective thinking!
Turning the tide starts with drops in the ocean.
Our own intervention starts in the rural school of Shikshaniketan in a remote village called Tilonia, set in Rajasthan.
Today, Shikshaniketan’s alumni stand successfully in various professions, some in senior leadership positions in Barefoot College itself. (Barefoot College is the umbrella non-profit organization working on skill development of those without formal qualifications – Read more here). Alas, since the profession of teaching was never socially aspirational, we hardly have a few alumni who have returned to us to be Shikshaniketan’s teachers.
We want our 40-year-old teachers to pass the baton. Inspired by the founding principles of Barefoot College, and modelled around the effective TeachforIndia programme, we started the Barefoot Rise Fellowship encouraging young enthusiastic individuals to take on the challenge to transform themselves into holistic education professionals while teaching in Shikshaniketan.
Being a non-profit providing free education, we have managed to squeeze our resources to support the stipend and logistics of these young Fellows. However, in a low-resource remote village, we always feel that a few provisions will make these young Fellows a lot more equipped to be productive - bring out the best in them in creating teaching-learning material that will not only improve their class delivery but shall also set examples for years to come.
Imagine, if with your support, how much they’ll be able to do for the 400+ local rural underprivileged children.
We shall publish invoices and photos of all items purchased immediately on purchase.
After 9 months, we shall also inform you of every aspect achieved in curriculum, TLM, through these contributions. We expect quality photo, video content, a substantial amount of printed laminated TLM being created, and also, regular use of multimedia display options in class.
Meanwhile, you are more than welcome to write to us at visit@barefootcollege.org to visit us at Tilonia in between and closely get to know the Rise Fellows and also the work that they are doing.
