“URBAN SLUMS EDUCATION SUPPORT PROGRAM“
Millions of children remain out of school in India, despite concerted government efforts to expand educational opportunity. Pockets of excluded children exist not only in remote rural regions but also in densely populated urban centres where overcrowded public schools lack the resources to meet demand.Amrat Foundation attempts to address these challenges by providing high quality education at low cost in urban slums. The model involves providing new classrooms, which are often simple rented rooms, where an average of 25 children learn in shifts.
