Super 30 Pathshala project is in line with the Government’s initiative Beti Bachao Beti Padhao which is a trans formative project dedicated to the foundational development of underprivileged children specially girls child in the age group of 7 to 8 years by providing them quality education and holistic grooming to empower these young minds,
breaking the cycle of limited opportunities and fostering a brighter future.
Problem Statement
Despite possessing innate talents, a significant number of children, especially girls from economically weaker sections, encounter barriers that impede their ability to complete their school education. Issues such as illiterate parents, lack of awareness, frequent migration for livelihood, inadequate school facilities etc. contribute to this grim situation. Girls in these families continue to suffer from gender inequality, domestic responsibilities and the specter of early marriages . Most of these children, particularly girls, do not enter a classroom until the age of 7 or 8, leading to a
delayed start and undiscovered talent. This missed opportunity for crucial grooming during the formative years of primary schooling results in a weak educational foundation, making it challenging for these children to cope with more advanced subjects when they progress to secondary classes. Consequently, these challenges hinder their educational journey and limit their potential contributions to society. Sadly, this often leads to early school dropout, preventing society from benefiting from these hidden gems—potential doctors, leaders, and scientists—who remain undiscovered due to untapped talent.
Solution
In response to this challenge, Stand N Stride Foundation introduces the SnS Super 30 Pathshala program. Leveraging our extensive experience and analyzing available information, this initiative addresses the root cause by focusing on building a robust educational foundation for children at the critical age of 8 to 11 years. Recognizing that children, like wet clay, can be molded at this stage, our program provides early intervention essential for their development. This flagship program selects 15 to 20 promising children, especially girls, from weaker sections of a particular locality and provides them holistic grooming with a strong basic educational foundation.
To facilitate this, we set up a well-equipped center called the SnS Super 30 Pathshala in their locality with all modern facilities. The program emphasizes parental counseling, coordination with school authorities, and foundational
learning during the primary years, with the ultimate goal of empowering these children to realize their potential. Our initiative envisions not only making education accessible but ensuring these children thrive academically and contribute significantly to society. Through the SnS Super 30 Pathshala program, we aim to foster a generation of educated, confident, and empowered young individuals who break the cycle of limited opportunities and contribute positively to their communities. An effort of converting carbon into diamonds.
Details of Program and Steps for its implementation / Methodology
Program Details & Duration: 3+1 Years (Class 3rd to Class 6th)
The Super 30 initiative is a transformative after-school program spanning four years, dedicated to nurturing the potential of promising children, especially girls, entering the 3rd grade from economically weaker sections, mainly studying in government schools in specific localities (JJ colonies). The first three years (class 3rd to class 5th) will be part of the Primary Schooling Program. We will employ a holistic approach, utilizing cutting-edge educational technology and methodologies to establish a robust foundation that empowers these young minds and prepares them for future challenges. Our utmost effort will be to help these children gain admission to reputable secondary schools.
In the fourth year, when the children are admitted to class 6th in Secondary School, we will provide comprehensive support in their studies, ensuring their understanding of each subject and helping them realize any hidden talents. From class 7th onwards, until class 12th, every child will be under our monitoring system, receiving assistance as needed.
After completing class 12th, our career counseling team will help these children choose a career path of their choice and may sponsor their higher education, depending on the availability of sponsors.
This initiative recognizes the critical need for support in primary education, especially for girls, to bridge the gap in educational opportunities and provide a solid foundation for their future.
