Drik Pathshala

CERTAD has provided continuing instructional support and capacitated the facilitators in curriculum development at the Learning Centre for slum children, based in Chittoor, called Drik Pathshala. This initiative was started in April 2006 and continues on a monthly basis. These sessions are conducted either in Drik Pathshala, Chittoor, or in the CERTAD campus in Bangalore.

In every session, schemes of work are planned in depth and resources, relevant to the students, are sourced. Continued support and feedback are provided when the facilitators implement their plans in their classrooms.
