Update: Spoken English Program

A little while back I posted about the Spoken English Program I devised with a couple of other IDEX fellows for schools here.  Yesterday, I saw this video that Faisal has made of the program running at his school showing the student progress over a couple of months. It's a heart-warming watch. 

 

The program is now officially running in 12 schools and reaching out to more than 1000 children in Hyderabad. We've seen both successes and failures along the way, and found that some schools have been able to integrate it very well into their curriculum, whereas others have struggled. The next steps for us are to share the program with more school leaders at the owners' meeting next week to encourage more schools to pilot the program. Then we shall study impact assessment, noting which elements within each school have led to its success or failure, in order to make revisions to the syllabus before handing it over to next year's cohort of fellows.
