601. Finally . . . We "Met Growth" Again!
After 3 years of stagnating in school growth, our staff stepped back, regrouped and looked at ourselves differently. While we are not where we want to be, we Met Growth this year and raised our performance grade. The "plan of attack" caused us to take a fresh look at our processes and procedures. We will share how we turned things around.

In this project, a small team of teachers, in guidance of basic education department and few educationists, supported the teachers to provide quality education in schools, so that the achievement of the students can be improved in scheduled period of time. The main objective of the project was to establish an improved education system starting from the preschool to class 8 in basic schools of Bakshi Ka Talab, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.
