The classroom of V B at the Chennai Corporation Primary School, Koyambedu includes 44 charming and highly talented children from an underprivileged community. These kids are inspired to explore and learn about the world around them.
The classroom was intervened by Teach For India fellows 3 years back and the kids had a good growth on different areas including reading comprehension, writing, math, science, sports.
