Madikeri, Aug. 6: Earlier, when the children who were away from education went to the forest to bring them to school, the children who saw the teacher would run to the forest... Bringing the children back had become a challenge for the teachers.
Later, when special programs were organized to convince the parents and children, now the children are attending school without fail even before the teachers arrive.
The villagers have expressed their appreciation for the teachers' concern. The school, which has won the appreciation of the officials, public representatives, parents and villagers by organizing an innovative program every month according to the learning of the students of Chennangi Government School in the forest, is now following the direction of the Education Department and organizing a special program every day. The students have also won wide appreciation by participating in all the programs.
The teachers have shown special care to the students in the areas of education, dance, singing, yoga, environmental care, cleanliness, painting, skill training, use of clean food, importance of medicinal properties, making of decorative items, children's fairs and various sports, and have revealed their talents and become role models.
Many years ago, some children from the forest were hesitant to go to school. They would stay away from education. Two years ago, K.K. Susha, who was appointed as the head teacher of the school in Prabara, first went to every village and convinced the parents to send the children to school.
Even after a few days, the children were not coming to school. The parents were leaving the children at home and going to their daily work. Since the school enrollment was low, the teachers themselves were going to the village to bring the children.
Seeing the teachers coming from a distance, the children from the village would run to the forest. Bringing the children to school became a challenge for the teachers.
On the workers' holiday, a parents' meeting was held at the school and the government is providing several schemes. The teachers informed that education is essential for every child and they can get education without any expenses and build a better future.
Parents who were concerned about their children's education left work the next day and came to school with their children and encouraged their children's learning.
The teachers organized an extracurricular activity program along with education to complement the children's learning. Donors announced prizes for the students who scored high marks in compulsory attendance, including bags. In a few days, the students revealed their talents by participating in all the programs.
The school environment was decorated with lush greenery, flower gardens, ornamental trees, and various flower plants due to the responsibility of the teachers and students. The school premises are decorated with writing, painting, environment, health awareness, animal and bird pictures, and literary writings that are conducive to academic development are displayed in the rooms, attracting everyone's attention.
Following the directions of the government's education department, a program was organized in the school every day to promote the importance of food and health care. In a campaign called Poshana Pakwad, students dressed up in vegetables and taught their parents about the use and importance of vegetables.
Chennayankaote Gram Panchayat President Makereera Arun Kumar has expressed his appreciation for the teachers' concern for education, who are working hard to encourage children's learning through education and extracurricular activities and bring them into the mainstream through education.
