LAMPS Model for Elementary Education

LAMPS model basically focuses on all round development of children. It facilitates logical and relevant learning as per context and mapping the progress periodically for evaluation and there by corrective measures for further improvement. LAMPS Makes the System Sensitive and Provides Inputs to School Education. It connects RTE Act 2009, SDG-4 and core component of draft New Education Policy and Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan. To promote the holistic development of children as a process we define the core elements which need to mobilise for better ambience building in favour of quality and inclusive education of children. Those core focus areas are as follows:

  1. Child Centric: This model focuses on Quality and Inclusive Education approach having pedagogical base and joyful learning with various extracurricular activities relevant for tribal area. The importance of pedagogy is pivotal in the learning process. Solid teaching practices are important for all children, but they are essential if vulnerable learners are to achieve positive learning outcomes.
  2. Community Centric: This model focuses on Participatory Planning, Budgeting, Implementation and Monitoring and further Corrective Measures involving communities (SMC, Gram Sabha, PRIs, Bal Sansad etc)
  3. Teacher Centric: This model focuses on Enriching Teachers on diverse contents and  pedagogical approach for teaching children with diverse knowledge and base of learning appropriation. This ensures joyful learning and efficient classroom transactions
  4. Infrastructure Centric: This model focuses on Qualitatively Functional Infrastructure in the school premises of schools by involving all stakeholders. 
  5. Stakeholders Centric: This model focuses on ensuring Involvement and ownership of all stakeholders for supporting children and their education.

Digital Tools like AKVO for mapping of learning/monitoring and digital equipments like tab, computer and internet support will be used for making digital classrooms for enhancing classrooms transactions and interface of children with new world of technology.  

If all above mentioned areas are properly facilitated then quality education can be ensured in the given context. LAMPS mainly respond to the local needs based in process for sustainability of impacts.
