Aarohan’s Primary School project, PASS is now being held on the Malviya Nagar MCD School premises. Having recently been granted permission to use the premises after school hours, Aarohan now holds daily follow-up tuition classes for students of classes I to V.

With the additional space available, we hope to expand the number of students this project can absorb and possibly extend the amount of time children spend at Aarohan

Project PASS provides after-school tuition classes for primary level children who are already attending MCD schools. Children are assisted with their course-work, homework and any area where they may need additional attention and a special emphasis is laid on intensive classes in reading, writing and arithmetic.

As the majority of these children come from slum-dwelling families that live below the poverty line, Aarohan attempts to provide them with the academic and emotional support that their parents are often unable to offer.
By providing them with quality training and ensuring that they remain abreast with their school curriculum, these children feel more competent to cope with their studies and are less likely to drop-out. We are delighted to see that our classes not only assist the children with their studies but also increase their level of confidence and self-esteem.

• Daily follow-up classes are held.

• Children from classes I to V are divided into corresponding groups based on classes attended in school and taught English, Hindi and Mathematics with additional help in other subjects taught in school.

• PASS is presently attended by 135 children daily.

• The children are provided with a daily nutritious snack and basic study materials such as three-in-one copy books, pencils etc.

Objectives:

• To provide children with follow-up academic support that will enable them to learn and perform up to the levels expected for their class.

• To provide each child with the time and physical space to concentrate on their studies which would otherwise be used in undertaking household chores, taking care of siblings or working to support their families.

• To develop confidence and self-esteem in each child by teaching them with love and understanding and developing their unique talents through participation in cultural programs and competitions.
