Impact:
At the Special Care Centre we believe that complete education cannot just be imparted in class rooms. In order to make the children confident self-reliant and responsible citizens it is important that they learn skills that go beyond the regular school curricula. 19 children cleared their entrance examinations by securing excellent grades giving a huge boost to their self-confidence. Currently these children secured admissions in First year B.A (Bachelors of Arts) at Chetna College, in Bandra.
As the children proceed to complete their formal education they are encouraged to undertake vocation courses that would enable them to earn their own livelihood. This year, 15 students underwent a 3 month Skill Certification Course in hospitality at the Taj Lands End, Mumbai. The course has groomed their personality and has opened doors for students to explore careers in Hotel Industry after they have completed their school education. 33 students from the Hearing Impaired section were admitted to Fr. Agnel Ashram College to pursue advanced diploma courses in plumbing, electrical wiring and carpentry who have appeared for the exams and are awaiting their results. Armed with these skills the students would now be ready to earn their livelihood and face life with renewed vigor.
The Special Care Centre has also undertaken initiatives for its ex-students who haven't been able to find suitable livelihood for themselves. The'Zeeman Vipula Vocational Training Centre' was started in August at the school premises involving the ex-students. This Training Centre has a weaving machine and a loom where the students are trained to make napkins, dusters and various other materials that have a market.
This year the Special Care Centre introduced Grade 10 (SSC) Curriculum for Hearing Impaired students. The first batch of students will be attempting the SSC exam next year. There was also another reason to rejoice when 5 children with hearing impairment from Special Care Centre were integrated to regular schools. Such integration spares the child from being marginalized and allows the scope to develop like a normal child and individual.
Disability has never discouraged the children from participating in various competitions and this year it was no different. On an International World Disabled Day children from the Special Care Centre participated and won several gold, silver and bronze medals making the parents and the school proud of them.
Case Study
Case Study - Arzoo Banu Haider Ansari
Arzoo, possessing hearing difficulty, studied in the Hearing Impaired section of Special Care Centre. Her father being a tailor dreamed to educate Arzoo and hence enrolled her into our school. After Arzoo started attending our school regularly, we realized she had a good grasping power and was extremely intelligent at academics. Since our Special Care Centre enrolls about 10 - 15 students per class and special attention is given to each child. With the regular auditory training she learned to pronounce words and sentences quickly which built her confidence.
13yrs old Arzoo studied in our Special Care Centre and completed 4 levels in 4 years. She actively participated in many extra-curricular activities which were held at the school.
Seeing her encouragement towards academics, this year, Arzoo was integrated into a formal school in Ghatkopar, where she now continues her education. Our teachers visit her school in intervals to keep a follow up on her progress. She also visits the Special Care Centre for any assistance that is required from our teachers.
We are proud to integrate our students in a formal regular school. The smile and the confident that she exudes is a reward enough for us. Now with formal education, we hope she carves her destiny.
