About us
This project of Odisha Primary Teachers Training & Research Institute (OPTRI), a unit of Subhadra Charitable Trust (SCT) proposes basic education for the children of destitute and deprived society. This is the backbone of our society and without their upliftment, a sustainable and inclusive growth is beyond our reach. Itís education which contributes to the reduction of both absolute and relative poverty. Basic education, in particular, helps to alleviate poverty by helping poor people improve their lives. Mothers with some education raise healthier families.
Children and youth with basic skills and knowledge can read and handle numbers, which gives them access to information and thinking process that give them more choices about how to behave in their families and then in the community. Through basic education adults can make more informed decisions about political and social events that affect the quality of their lives.
Children from families of below poverty or poorer section of the society need continuous education from kindergarten to higher secondary level in order to counter the serious challenges, including poverty, crime, unemployment, and substance abuse.
Though the proposed education plans are not designed to directly created economic opportunities that will eliminate poverty but certainly elements of the proposal, specifically adult education programme, may provide families with tools to escape poverty. The proposed education program does directly target the children of deprived society, motivate adults to basic education, averse to crime, prevention of substance abuse, promote the culture of healthy family, and to boost early education.
The Objective
The role of a primary, Middle, Secondary & Higher Secondary level teacher is to lay the foundation for the maximum development of children and provide them with a secure and positive learning environment. A teacher makes a lot of difference in the lives of the young learners because a childís preschool experience is his or her experience into the world of education. Primary & Middle level teachers should inspire young learners to develop an interest in learning and to do so they need to be thoroughly trained in the teaching methods. Pre primary teachers training programs focus on lesson planning and timetabling skills, preparing delightful materials for the children who could be engaged in playful activities like craft and drawing. Therefore, it is essential that the teachers get properly trained before they start working as a primary & middle level teacher and provide sufficient learning opportunities that facilitate maximum growth and development. Since a teaching aspirant needs the skills and expertise to prepare young learners for future education, a proper and excellent ability has become almost mandatory if one is applying for a primary or a secondary teaching job. Job prospects for elementary teachers in the coming days are expected to be very promising for which excellent teachers training has become very important infact inevitable.
