Navigating the Complexities of Migrant Education
Introduction
Gubbachi addresses the urban crisis of marginalized communities forced to migrate, focusing on children’s education in under-resourced urban areas. With interconnected programs, we aim to enhance the schooling experience, breaking the cycle of poverty for these vulnerable families.
Challenge Faced: Through the eyes of a Migrant
Rohit, a bright young boy who, along with his family, migrated to Bangalore in search of better opportunities. Like many migrant children, Rohit faced a unique educational challenge. Despite being enrolled in Class 3 of a Government School, his foundational Math skills lagged far behind.
For the team at Gubbachi, dedicated to empowering migrant children through education, Rohit’s situation was emblematic of a broader challenge they faced. Migrant children often move between schools and regions. This makes it challenging to maintain accurate attendance records and assess their learning levels consistently.
Solution: Partnership with Platform Commons
Gubbachi needed a solution that could help them navigate these complexities and provide targeted support to children like Rohit.
Gubbachi’s used Platform Commons‘ Campus Cloud, a comprehensive school management platform to transform the approach to migrant education.
Features and Impact
- Tracking Attendance with Precision: Campus Cloud’s attendance tracking system provided a solution to the challenge of maintaining accurate records for mobile students. Gubbachi now monitors Rohit’s attendance in the Class 3 section while accounting for his mobility.
- Customized Learning Level Assessment: The school management platform’s flexibility allows Gubbachi to assess Rohit’s learning levels in specific subjects, such as Math, which corresponds to Class 1. This tailored assessment provides insights into Rohit’s educational needs, enabling Gubbachi to design a targeted support plan.
- Empowering Data-Driven Decisions: The detailed reports on Rohit’s learning levels became the foundation of Gubbachi’s intervention strategy. Armed with this data, they will be able to make informed decisions. It will also help in identifying areas requiring additional support, and adapt their approach to ensure Rohit’s success.
Gubbachi and their elaborate usage of Campus Cloud are rewriting the narrative for migrant children. Together, they illuminate the path toward a more equitable and promising future, one where every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their mobility or background.
