“I understand addition & multiplication, but do not understand Hydroxychloroquine, I understand subtraction and division but do not understand the divide that the COVID has bought onto us”, as quoted by a kid who is undergoing a treatment with one of the two oncology hospitals run by Samiksha Foundation that provides educational support to cancer kids.
Like any other institutions, Samiksha Foundation also had to encounter the challenges posed during this pandemic, especially for those kids who are bright and have the zeal to learn and make a mark for themselves in their life.
Education for these children is at a stage of desolation due this pandemic situation. Same goes with the children undergoing treatment under Samiksha Foundation. These kids had to go back to their homes to continue medication but in the process have been deprived of creative learning that the foundation was providing.
Faculty at Samiksha Offices (COE) were on their feet when eight such kids in their 10th grade across the state reached out for support as they did not have any electronic gadgets to support nor internet connectivity. Volunteers now had a humongous task ahead of them to impart knowledge in less than 2-3 weeks of time before their exams. When this was a lockdown, Samiksha did not get knocked down during this time, Volunteers taught them Math (in Kannada, English as well as Urdu), Science, Social Studies, Hindi and Kannada and finally on the result day all these eight children had secured best of the percentages ranging from 53%-87%. One can get more information on their results, do refer to the link:
This is the new phase of Samiksha from educating with a traditional approach towards technological approach with virtual educational support. Yes, we call it, Samiksha 2.0 it does sound great indeed!
