“The text-messages and the audio calls helped me understand about foundational literacy and numeracy skills of children and why they are important, ” says Priyardarshini, a parent from Bhadrak. Priyadarshini’s daughter Akankhya who has been enrolled in the nearby government school is in Class 2 now but has not gone to school for nearly 2 years. Despite this, she is happy to see Akankhya’s progress during the pandemic. “ThinkZone’s home-based learning program has been really useful as I receive simple activities everyday over the phone and I love practicing the same with Akankhya. Her teacher calls once a week to check if I am facing any trouble in understanding the activity. The toll-free number facility has been really useful as I can call on it to understand the learning activities in detail. “
