The Bornfree Art School focuses on a formal/non-formal education for children. Every child has a right to free education so does the Right to Education 2010 says. Through the artistic works and its intervention, children will realize the importance of education. Children will be encouraged to pursue a higher education after the successful completion of the 10th board examination. Formal Education We are sending students to the formal school such as St. Joseph’s Indian High School, Bangalore. We believe that children should go back to education which is our first priority in the Bornfree. Informal Education Informal education is a system in which school dropouts learn basics of reading, writing and mathematics in order to go back to the formal education. NCLP, National Child Labour Project run by the Central Government is a common curriculum where dropout kids learn basics. Anand, Subramani, Jallali, and many more were gone through NCLP classes. After the NCLP, children can directly write the 7th Standard exams in the NGOs. Adolescents who are above 16 years old can directly apply for the Karnataka Open School examinations run by the Government of Karnataka. They need to study six subjects in Kannada. Otherwise, they can apply for the National Open School run by the Central Government and this is an English medium. The Bornfree Education Funds; The Bornfree believes that children should
go back to the mainstream of education. Each child should have a scholarship of
which she/he can decide how they can use money for their studies. Each one has
his/ her own bank account to deposit money.You can fund a child's education by supporting his/her fees, buying them notebooks, stationeries, etc.You can support one child after you see the
profile or have already met them and knew them and feel like to support his /
her education (Take a look at Voices of Kids!). You can send us funds through a cheque (in favor of Bornfree Art School International) or bank account
(please contact us directly). Here is a budget. See what you can teach and who wants your help!; Click Here! |
