400+ students, 4 Learning Spaces in 18 months
Within a short span of time, we have started seeing glimpses of the difference Learning Spaces is making in the lives of children in these villages.
Teachers have reported a change in behavior, a renewed interest in Learning, higher focus in classes, improved attendance, and better test results. Learning Spaces are a boon to Government school teachers as they can come and research for topics they are teaching in the class.
We see community involvement in Muthathi Learning Space that is nestled in the middle of cow shed and houses. Villagers come and paint the Learning Space without asking, they feel it is their contribution to the cause.
​
There are success stories that we see around. A 9-year old child dropped out of school as classes did not interest him, but he is regular at Learning Spaces. He enjoys working in paint, solving puzzles, and is catching words of English language as well.
​
Children are solving complex puzzles, dabbling with dance, drama, paper cutting, clay modeling, art projects, yoga and meditation.
​
Since Learning Spaces focus on Thinking, we engaged an external company to assess Critical Thinking ability of children. We conducted the baseline in August 2018, and would be measuring growth in August 2019.
