Paving way for the nation's glorious future by strengthening its schooling infrastructure!

BACKGROUND
The weakest link in the Indian public education system is its low quality. Even in educationally advanced states of India, an unacceptably low proportion of children who complete all grades of primary school have functional literacy. Moreover, the quality of `literates' of the school system is very low. The actual quantity of schooling that children experience and the quality of teaching they receive are extremely insufficient to any mastery of basic literacy and numeric skills.
Though there are primary schools established at the proximity of all the population, many schools have only one or two classrooms and most do not have running and/or drinking water and toilets. These features are not conducive to a learning environment.
Mission
The objective of Vidyalaya program is to help the Government schools that are providing formal education in rural areas in Andhra Pradesh. Spandana has been supporting these schools that have been neglected by local communities and government officials. Vidyalaya program is to provide amenities, tools which can facilitate good teaching environment and improve learning techniques in government schools by which we can help the children attending these from low socio-economic backgrounds. In this program, the schools get the following benefits from Spandana.
- Infrastructure Development (Class Rooms, Desks, etc)
- Better learning environment by providing good sanitation & amenities
- Extra teacher (paid volunteer) until government provides sufficient teachers for existing students
- Learning/Teaching material for students (Library)
