A visit to Brickfield schools

Since 2008, KMWSC has facilitated open air schools for three hours a day for children living in brickfields on the outskirts of Kolkata.Each brickfield involved is assigned two teachers for
every 50 children.

Tracking and ensuring children of migrant labourers continue their studies when families move are other important components of the project.To make learning interesting and fun, innovative education methods are used in the centres. The curriculum makes use of tools like learning with pictures, learning by doing, role-play, drawing, etc.

Director of KMWSC along with Brickfield project team visited 6 Brickfields at Tona Brick field and 8 Brickfields at Basirhat Brick field.All Brickfield children were very excited to meet the Director.
KMWSC administers the project reguarly and ,visits all Brickfield schools regularly to monitor the center and support teachers.

A massive thank you to the teachers involved at the Brickfield schools for all their hard work and effort in making the programme a success.
