Prajayatna is an NGO working to improve the quality of education in public schools through their Quality Learning Initiative - Kalikayatna by working with not only the school’s stakeholders but also through the parents and community. Chetan is one of the thousands of children Kalikayatna has had a life-changing impact on.
Meet Chetan
Chetan was born with a tumour at the base of his tailbone, and due to this never attended school. Initially, he couldn’t even walk on his own, was fearful of strangers, and didn’t trust anyone. Prajayatna intervened and convinced him to attend school. However, he acted out against anyone sitting near him in class violently, had separation anxiety, and so his mother was asked to attend sessions with him for the first 6 months.
Trained by Prajayatna, Chetan’s teacher created an inclusive classroom where he could learn to express himself on his own as well as collaboratively with others. The teacher used multiple techniques like big group discussions coupled with small group learning and individual practice sessions. Over time, Chetan started trusting others and started to express himself, share his thoughts, and collaborate with his classmates.
Now, Chetan has not only started to walk on his own, but he also attends classes without his mother by his side, has massively improved his confidence, made friends, and learned to read and write as well.
