Compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6-14 is empirical to the Government of India, which is clearly mentioned in Article 45 of the Indian Constitution. However, there is lot to be done since this mission remains still incomplete.
Efforts are being made by the government to make several inroads to fix lapses that exist in children’s education systems to fulfil the fundamental right provided by the Constitution of India.
We, at Pakka Career, are committed to promote literacy and higher learning in the country, especially for the girl child. There are several schemes and initiatives have been undertaken to improve the lives of deserving students through education which ensures that girl children from socially and economically marginalized families have easy and free access to quality education, which in turn decreases the high dropout rates.
We help underprivileged children in rural India gain access to quality education using technology. As there is a severe shortage of skill teaching staff in government schools, they make up for it by providing access to education through remote learning. This way children connect to volunteer teachers worldwide through live and interactive classes. We also provides students from under-resourced schools computing and problem-solving skills.
As most students in marginalized communities live in remote and far-flung parts of the country, most do not have access to the knowledge and skills that will make them part of the productive economy in tomorrow’s workforce, these initiatives go a long way to supporting aspirations of the marginalized youth.
We take a route of active school participation by contributing to the government school students. This offers a stronger sense of support to destitute children from backward and marginalized backgrounds, as they are assured of a steady and free primary education, along with shelter and opportunities to succeed in life. We are also planning to set up libraries in schools to inculcate the reading habit and enhance comprehension, by providing financial support to improve school infrastructure in government schools. Their aim is to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children belonging to socio-economically marginalized sections of society.
We also would like to mainly focus on identifying and working with bright students from economically disadvantaged families. our aim is to nurture these high achieving children until they complete their higher education and are then helped in finding a suitable job. Working with the knowledge that intelligent students can come from any strata of society, and those that come from low-income families have limited access to resources and opportunities to shine because of low-quality education and lack of financial help.
Therefore complete support is offered to these deserving children from economically challenged backgrounds into higher education until they graduate and find employment.
Our flagship program Mission Education has been working with the objective of empowering underprivileged children by providing education and healthcare support. We follow a four-pronged holistic approach, with a focus on children, teachers, learning environment and community engagement. There are also scholarships and vocational training programmes to facilitate easy transition from learning to earning and giving less privileged children equal opportunities to pursue higher education, professional courses and technical careers.
