Formal Schools

 Asha works with formal schools for children in rural as well as urban areas. The schools provide full time schools for children with the syllabus prescribed by the government. The formal schools being supported by Asha are typically located in areas where there is no other schooling available. The children attending these schools pay little or no fees and come from low socio-economic backgrounds. Some of the formal schools incorporate good teaching and learning techniques to ensure that the education the children receive is effective. Asha has helped support the financial needs for schools including school infrastructure and building cost, land cost, teacher salaries, educational materials, transportation and other requirements.
