The impact of the school Story - 1
context on its functioning and
learning process
The elementary education is a
foundation to any individual for his
overall development.
The School at village is not simply a
cluster of few structures and green patches
with few plants. It's impact upon the
child's development is incalculable. MPPS
Konijarla is the best example for it.
This success story of a primary
school of SC colony Konijerla is
significantly marked for its innovative
mode of functionality in the elementary
system of education.
The enrolment in 2013 was 75, where
as it steeply rose up to 133 by 2019
reaching to its optimum level.
Behind this great achievement there
is always a relentless hard work by the
team of teachers under the able guidance
of the head of the institution Pentyala
Govinda Rao and a great deal of support
of the parents. Parents came forward to
co-operate with the team of teachers for
the well being of the institution.
52 Transformation of Schools into Vibrant Learning Hubs
During the day, most of the time, the
parents spend their time in various
agricultural labour works leaving their
wards at home after joining their wards in
the available local school. Children at
home likely to be hesitant to attend the
school if no elder at home guide them to
go. Particularly the small children love to
enjoy their time with their peer and
playthings. Usually they try to escape the
school whenever they have a chance. Many
parents come to us for a solution to this
problem. After a thorough discussion with
the parents school found a solution. First
of all, an assigned teacher for the task will
attend such cases and bring them to the
school until the kids accustomed to the
new environment. Another solution
followed is they encouraged the eligible
students to take up entrance exams
conducted by the Residential schools. A
considerable number of students availed
this chance and joined the institutions. The
team of teachers guided them with
print materials and succeeded well. One
of the parents who benefitted with this idea
greatly relieved from the
problem described her experience here
under. Let us see what she told in her own
words!
