Shree Subhash Shiksha Sadan

292/1, Block- B, Bangur Avenue, Kolkata- 700055

This is a small Hindi medium Government primary school at Bangur Avenue. There are three teachers and three small classrooms. Students are very poor in Mathematics and English. Students of class III & IV, couldn’t read any sentence from their English text book and couldn’t do Mathematics questions with a reasonable accuracy. Our volunteers teach them Mathematics from Khan Academy’s lessons and help them to read from the English text book. We are trying to improve the quality of education in this school, make them more disciplined and encourage them to learn English and Mathematics. Everyday, our volunteers visit the school in the morning at 7.30 am and teach them up to 10.30 am. For students who are very weak in Mathematics, we have arranged special coaching classes in the evening with their parental consent.
