BEFC Objectives and Operational Strategy

The initial objective of the Birur Educational Foundation for Children was to work with a few selected government operated primary schools around the town of Birur and assess the effectiveness of the program before venturing into a larger effort.  BEFC initially focused on providing educational resource materials that were not available to the children either from their school, parents, or society in general.  Using the feedback received from the teachers, parents, and students of the schools, BEFC is developing plans for its future activities and initiatives with primary schools in the area.  The broad objectives of BEFC are given below:

• To provide material resources such as books, computers, special uniforms, and school supplies to elementary school students in order to foster a better learning environment
  

• To provide teachers with a variety of resources including training programs to enable them to better teach elementary school children in rural areas
  

• To assist in the improvement of the infrastructure such as classrooms, libraries, sports facilities, drinking water, and toilets at schools for a more conducive learning environment for children
