It was the moto of the company that every child should have access to quality education and
schooling. Various education programs were started with the intent to combat child labour by
providing disadvantaged children in urban settings with an opportunity to get education. They
have partnered with schools, communities and stakeholders to reach out to children between
the ages of 2+and 16 years and get them on board for holistic education. Some of the initiatives
in this directions are:

SCOPE School-Community Partnership in Education: In 1999 DRF initiated the

School-Community Partnership in Education (SCOPE) program with the focus of helping
marginalized communities access education. DRF targeted school drop-outs and those who
have never been to school and encouraged them to enroll for this program. The current
activities of the plan includes:

libraries and maintaining toilets. Key outcomes of this program are to increase girl child
enrolment and decrease the dropout rate in the SIP schools. SIP is operational in Telangana

to provide proper education to the children from disadvantaged backgrounds who could not
afford to pay for public schools. There are 4 Pudami neighborhood schools and

located in close proximity to where the children live and involve the neighborhood community
and parents in mobilizing the children to attend school. These 24 Pudami Schools contains

Resource Center in curriculum design, academic monitoring mechanisms and preparation of
training material for the teachers in accordance with the national curricular framework.

(Hyderabad). The program includes over 2040 students from kindergarten to grade X. The
teaching methodology adopted at the school is activity-based and takes into account the
specific needs of every student. Those who are lagging behind in academics are brought into
the mainstream through special remedial programs.The school also assists students who
successfully clear the school leaving exams (Class X Board Examinations) to get admission in
government / private junior colleges or vocational junior colleges. Those who have failed in the
exams are given intensive coaching to help them to pass in subsequent attempts.
