Education

Y Gro supports children and rural youth in Jaffna through a holistic and activity-value based educational approach. The education programme aims at building knowledge, citizenship values and social values in children and rural youth through an educational programme which upholds the rights of children and youth. The programme supports a total of 192 students according to their level of poverty and needs for 2023. Of the 192 students, 150 students receive support for educational basic needs, school stationery, nutrition support and payments towards their school and tuition fee. Students who would require additional coaching in Maths and English are part of the activity-based learning programme. For 2023, 10 students are a part of the Maths coaching class and 42 students are a part of the English programme. The English programme supports 20 children in Grade 2 (7-year-old) and 22 children in Grade 3 (8-year-old) with basic spoken and written English.

The education programme has been supporting over 1000 children since 2003. The programme has impacted many students to continue pursuing their education despite poverty and contextual challenges. In 2022, of the students supported by Y Gro, 7 children sat for their Ordinary level examinations and all of them passed the examination. Of the 7 students who sat for their Advanced Level examinations in 2021, 2 of them have been able to enter the Sri Lankan university and 1 student has been able to gain admission into a Medical college in Sri Lanka.

The education programme of Y Gro brings about a sustainable solution to address root causes of poverty while impacting individual lives at present.

 

Meal Plan

We are planning to provide support for 150 students. 06 students will sit for the GCE A/level exam and 13 will sit for the GCE O/level exam in 2023.

Due to the very poor performance in English in the Northern District, a unique English speech and reading program is being introduced for 40 children in grades 2 – 3.
