Pushpa Devi teaches first generation learners!

Pushpa Devi has been associated with Apna Skool as a teacher since the last nine years.

Read a first person account by the teacher:

”I have been teaching in Apna Skool since last nine years. I love teaching the children in Apna Skool. These children come from migrant worker’s families whose life is full of hardships. I feel contented that I am helping these families educate their children.

I come from Kannauj, UP where I completed my education and have also taught in a school there for 10 years. I was quite passionate about teaching since my child hood. I even used to teach children during my school years. I was a bit hesitant when I joined Apna Skool as a teacher, but I am happy today that my contribution as a teacher is helping the children learn and grow. I believe that the children will be a source of inspiration for their families and society, since most are first generation learners.

Apart from teaching, I like embroidery. I read newspaper every day to keep myself updated.. If I have some time, I watch TV.. My husband works in a soap factory..  Today I am earning for my family, my dream to be financially independent has come true. I have two daughters who go to school. My dream and goal is to provide them good education, so that they can be independent and prove to the society that there is no difference between a boy and a girl”.
