The story of a social worker

The story of a social worker

Today, I’ll share a true story that highlights how children learn quickly when taught in a natural and practical manner. They not only learn but also remember the subject and its teachings for life because they make the effort themselves.

This is the story of Sugata, a social worker who provided an opportunity for children to learn in a practical way.

In 1999, Sugata set up a touch screen computer in a slum area of New Delhi where poor children struggled even with reading Hindi, let alone English. You might wonder what those children would do with a touch screen computer. But within a few days, it was observed that the children in the slum started playing with the computer. Initially, they just pressed buttons and messed around with the screen, but gradually, without even realizing it, they started learning to use the computer.

They quickly learned to operate the computer through games and understand the things on the computer. This became possible because they got a natural environment, an opportunity to do practical work, and they moved forward in the direction of experimentation.

If they had been taught in a professional manner, they would have first been taught English, then new language techniques, and then computer definitions and theories, which would have killed their interest in the subject. But Sugata gave them a chance to expand their thinking, experiment, and learn to use the computer while playing games.

Teach With E4 also makes similar efforts so that children not only cram but also learn by watching, feeling, and understanding, and move forward in life.

The message of Teach With E4 is for all schools, their teachers, and parents to teach their children in practical and experiential ways so that children can easily achieve their goals in the journey of life.
