A resource room in a government school in a municipality, mostly because of the work by two parents, Jennifer and Indu. A laudable parents’ initiative. More on it..
The narrative started when an MLA-funded reconstruction of a government school building under the Thrikkakara corporation took place. Parents then requested for a resource room in the same building. Subsequently, it was made into a special care centre.
Speaking of the described journey, Indu and Jennifer, the initiative's parents, said that convincing the authorities required a lot of persuasion and tireless work. What, however, turned the tide in their favour was a new management committee headed by Mr. Asharaf, a new Headmaster Deepa and the help of counsellor, Mrs. Hassena. Haseena, a parent and advocate by profession offered them a sympathetic ear. Being in a position of authority in the corporation, Haseena’s support was invaluable. Mr. Asharaf, also saw the value of a resource room. We all worked together to move things along to the next phase. Being in a position of authority in the corporation, Haseena's support was invaluable. With our ex-MLA, Mr. PT Thomas’s help, we forwarded the request to the government. As an outcome, they granted us permission for a therapy centre which provides free speech and physiotherapy, the first centre starting in our school.
All students requiring therapy can apply in this Samagra Siksha Scheme. Children from the age group of 3 yrs to higher secondary level can receive free speech and physiotherapy. Around 70 students are, to benefit from this scheme.
