During this unprecedented pandemic while most children are doing online schooling, few rural areas have access to good communication transmission and in the cities many simply cannot afford to buy data usage credit due to urban poverty. Although we cannot provide online schooling for our marginalised students from impoverished families, we at The Other Side Foundation have equipped our teachers with 4G mobile phones. This has enabled our teachers to upskill and use this opportune time to attend training both online and in person with less than 10 people in a group.
Zoom meetings and online training has kept teachers abreast at this modest community school. While most community schools are not functional, at The Other Side Foundation School for OVC, teaching and support staff are still paid their full salary, they attend online training and carry on upskilling. Our donors have made this possible, thank you.
We invest in our teachers because they can make a difference in their students' lives:
The mediocre teacher TELLS. The good teacher EXPLAINS. The superior teacher DEMONSTRATES. The great teacher INSPIRES - William Arthur ward
