New Teacher for Bangalore School

The Head in Charge of School in Bangalore has asked us if we can sponsor an extra Teacher for the School. The reason being – there are 5 classes as of now and total number of students are approximately 120. The Government allots Teachers based on the number of Children and not on the number of classes that a School has. For every 40 students one Teacher is allotted. By June (in the new academic year) there will be 3 Teachers and 5 classes. The Head in Charge feels, it will be good if there are 4 Teachers. Currently the Teachers manage by combining students of two standards in a single class room and teach them simultaneously

Keeping in mind the criticality of requirement, our resources, we have planned that we shall sponsor a Teacher (qualified and certified) for one academic year. Simultaneously, there are ideas to engage the Government to meet this need. The cost involved in the form of salary would be Rs 2000 per month. Dinesh, one of our friends has agreed to sponsor a portion of the Teacher’s salary – Thank you Dinesh. If any of you/ your know persons are interested in contributing with finances/'plan to approach the Government', kindly let know
