Testimonials from Head Teachers

Presidency Muslim High School
Mansoor Ali firstly thanked HOPE for their utmost support and coordination. Previously there were many irregular attending students but after HOPE teachers joined the school, the students became regular through home visits where the HOPE teachers used to motivate the parents and the students to go school.
Teachers are practicing positive reinforcement rather than corporal punishment.
HOPE also provided library books, aqua guard, benches for school. It is noticed that students are gaining more interest in studies.

Nawadip Roy Smriti Pratamik Vidyalaya
Sudipta Majumdar (Head Teacher) and Devayan Sinha (Assistant-Teacher) said enrollment is increasing after HOPE’s kind support which made their students study more.
Facilities which were provided by HOPE such as benches, new well functioned washroom with facilities for CWSN (Children with Special Needs) are greatly appreciated.
The school teachers are applying teaching methodologies used by Froebel teachers who visit and teach the students, which has resulted in positive changes.
