In the govt rural areas of Ujjain, students of classes 7th and 8th
from families of daily wage workers and small farmers do not have access to hands-on learning
and vocational experiences that help them work on their skills for better ‘real-world’ exposure
to academic concepts. The National Achievement Survey, 2017 (Madhya Pradesh State Learning
Report) also says that not more than 40 percent of children in class 8 show class-appropriate
learning outcomes in Mathematics and Science. Also, here schools have a lack of resources for
hands-on learning experiences including no access to a physical lab in the school campus. The
report further states that fewer than 30 percent of children in class 8 cannot apply their
learning in the real world.
