2023/12: Fundraising Campaign — 20-Franc Notes

Sup­port the tea­cher sala­ries for the win­ter les­sons 2023/2024 for youth in the vil­la­ges of the Sen­ge La regi­on, Lad­akh – Hima­la­ya, with CHF 20.-

During the win­ter sea­son, public schools remain clo­sed for three months, from Decem­ber 2023 to Febru­ary 2024. The win­ter les­sons are orga­ni­zed to streng­then and impro­ve aca­de­mic pro­gress and help stu­dents advan­ce in their studies.

Addi­tio­nal­ly, the sta­te edu­ca­ti­on minis­try has intro­du­ced Hin­di as a com­pul­so­ry sub­ject from gra­des 1 to 8. To advan­ce to gra­de 9, stu­dents must pass exams in Hin­di. Only tho­se who suc­cessful­ly pass the exams are admit­ted to gra­de 9.

For win­ter 2023/2024, pro­ject coor­di­na­tor Sonam Dor­je is orga­ni­zing the addi­tio­nal lear­ning pro­gram in seven villages.

The cur­ri­cu­lum includes Hin­di as well as sub­jects like Mathe­ma­tics, Eng­lish, Bothi, and Sci­ence. A total of 145 youth bene­fit from this sup­port. Twen­ty-four tea­chers pro­vi­de instruction.

The EAL asso­cia­ti­on pro­vi­des finan­cial sup­port for six teachers.
