Sponsor a teacher:

Teaching is a profession that teaches all other professions.For any student, education and character are the basic foundations and it is laid by teachers as well as parents. If teaching is such a prestigious profession,why does it seem to be compensated at such a low level? We, at Kanchana Foundation have hence come up with an encouraging incentive for teachers. Similar to sponsoring children, a teacher may also be sponsored with a salary of about Euro 500 per year. With this scheme the demand of teaching resource would be fulfilled along with an employment opportunity for unemployed potential candidates.



Provide teaching assistance:

To tackle the issue of scarcity of teachers, an information technology enabled project named 'e-Educate' is proposed. The core idea is to provide e-education facility in the rural class rooms with a projector- PC- webcam-internet. A teacher from a distant school, with enough resources, would direct the class room activities. This enables class room distance teaching through resourceful partner schools. In the long run this could be expanded to enable distance teaching through internet- with teachers and volunteers spread across the globe educating the needy schools. This not only provides valuable teaching resource but also provides an opportunity for the people to indulge in social service activities.



Provide special training:

Training existing teachers in areas of computers and software skills would also result in increasing the efficiency and quality of education imparted by them. This results in utilizing the existing resources to fulfill the needs of the school itself. To further augment the quality, the teaching activities can be monitored based on the results and feedback activities could be introduced. To encourage teachers, a "Best teacher award" and other promotional activities could be held in schools. Encouraging teachers in increasing their competences is very advantageous. This is a form of utilizing local resources to solve local issues. As shown in the studies (Vijaya Sherry Chand, et al, "Teachers as Educational-Social Entrepreneurs: The Innovation-Social Entrepreneurship Spiral", Journal of Entrepreneurship, 2009), teachers themselves can be entrepreneurial in the activities that they carry. Given a conducive environment, with a need to create a social value, they show a high degree of innovation and effectiveness in spreading the ideas and innovations across new contexts. Thus encouraging teachers would result in a sustained development of education in the schools.
