The Proficiency in English programme aims to improve skills in English language speaking, reading and writing of students between grades 4 to 8. It is implemented in conjunction with the Centre for British Teacher & Education Services, Hyderabad.
An initial preparatory training was provided for teachers in how to provide skill-based inputs to students. Additionally, regular trainings are also delivered to teachers to enable them to teach the current English curriculum effectively. Teachers are also encouraged to actively use resource materials like flashcards, charts, audio-visual equipment handbooks and workbooks, as well as incorporate rhymes & vocabulary building content as part of the teaching process.
There has been a marked improvement in student attendance since the implementation of PIE. The intervention uses fun activities to make the English language more engaging to students, including the setting up of “English Committees” at schools to allow children to work in groups on improving their English language skills.
Curriculum and materials are consistently updated alongside frequent assessments and onsite support to teachers, to ensure smooth functioning of the programme.
As of today,
26,579 students
are learning to speak in English.
The impact and transformation that we have created breathe through the community of Yadgir. We continue to learn from them and use their experiences to create a more personalised approach.
