The right to education means the right to quality education and quality teachers. The lack of qualified and trained teachers is one of the factors contributing to the poor learning levels at schools. The education system often fails to invest enough on the development of teachers, which is the very pillar of an educational institution. Teachers often lack subject background, knowledge and understanding for effective teaching and are often placed in remote locations with no support in a largely dysfunctional system.
Given the scale of the problem, the traditional methods are inadequate to solve the problem. Using technology creatively seemed to be the only way forward. DSH’s videos provide this support and development in an effort to build the capacity of less-skilled teachers, thereby improving the quality of the education provided to the children they teach. DSH’s vision is to fill the gap in the Indian education system of lack of quality teachers, therefore quality education by providing on-site, on-job training using video lessons.
