Summary • •
•
•
The key impression I left with was how typical or normal the students and teachers in the schools were Kids were inquisitive and willing to participate (in a normal distribution). At a few classrooms, students went up to the board, answered questions and interacted confidently Teachers were quite commited – as evident from both the initial meeting and visits to the schools Gaps: – Still need to push for 1 classroom/ class in all schools
