We are so happy for our 46 students who passed their Madhyamik (GSCE) and Higher Secondary (A Level) exams this year. We held a celebration event on the weekend where Krishnagar local supporter Dr Jatan Roy Chowdhury presented certificates to each of the students 💛

Our rural students have many barriers to learning - child labour, child marriage, lack of food, welfare issues, parents’ perceptions of education as first generation learners, monsoon rains - so when a student’s attendance is over 80% that is something to recognise & celebrate 💛

RISE is 1️⃣5️⃣ next week! This video takes us back to the challenge as Covid-19 struck, forcing us to close doors to the RISE school. We made a plea and our supporters helped us to keep going with online classes and a workbook delivery system for students without smart phones 💛

RISE is 1️⃣5️⃣ today! Watch our team and the young people we work with share RISE’s vision for education in rural India. What do you think of our students’ ambitions for the future?

Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali/Kali puja. Your support helps to keep the flame of education burning brightly for our students in rural West Bengal. Thank you from the RISE family 🪔 #happydiwali #diwali #diwali2024
