Education and skills Development
Education
Education is the basis for development. We realize that one of the most important benefits of education is how it improves personal lives and helps societies run smoothly. Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. Therefore this core program aims at setting a fair and levelled ground for special education for children with disability, slow learners in primary education and children from vulnerable who have passed their grade 12 secondary level with required results for enrolment in universities and colleges.
