Learning with Bhaiyya-Didis. Priya’s journey of cracking SCIENCE and how!
Priya, a student of 9th grade from Atal Adarsh Vidyalaya Havlock Square School, New Delhi, supported by our Partner NGO PRATYeK, has been getting tutoring lessons from our young Bhaiyyas and Didis under TribesforGood’s “I have a Doubt” campaign. Priya joined us for a quick conversation recently and shared her thoughts and concerns about her education. She discussed what education meant to her, the difficulties she is facing in accessing education due to the COVID – 19 pandemic and also her future aspirations!

Q:Why do you think education is important?
P: Nowadays it is necessary to get a good job to earn money so that one can sustain life, hence I think education is important to achieve that.
Q:Which is your favorite subject to study? And why do you like it?
P: My favorite subject is English because I like the way English sounds when spoken, but I am not that fluent in English. Hence, I am attending English classes twice a week to improve it.
Q:How did your school cope with COVID-19 pandemic – did you have online classes?Do you prefer offline over online classes? And what is the most difficult part when it comes to online classes?
P: Yes, we have online classes. It is difficult to understand topics when taught online. For me, understanding Science has become more difficult, as I found it hard to understand even during my offline classes. I will always prefer offline classes, as during online classes there are network issues.
Q:How long have you been attending the online classes conducted by TribesforGOOD, have they helped you in any way?
P: I have been attending the online classes for the past 3-4 months. These sessions have helped me understand certain topics in Science, such as ‘Atoms & Molecules’ that we are currently studying, which I would have found hard to understand otherwise.
Q:Who was your favorite Bhaiyya or Didi from TribesforGOOD?
P:My favorite Didi was Prisha. I liked the way she used to teach Maths to us and would also conduct dance sessions.
Q:What are your future aspirations?
P: I want to become an Air hostess!
