Literacy and Numeracy provide critical scaffolding for young people and are prerequisites for socio-emotional skills, the ability to compete in the job market and to succeed in everyday life.<\/p>\n

Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and listen in ways that will allow us to communicate effectively to a variety of different audiences and to make sense of the world. We need numeracy to solve problems and make sense of numbers, time, patterns for everyday activities like cooking, going shopping and even playing sport.<\/p>\n

The Teacher on Wheels mobile classroom provides a safe environment for children and adults to learn basic Literacy and Numeracy skills. Our first mobile classroom launches in a rural area outside of Bangalore, India and is set to attract over 150 families with about 80 children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the World Bank<\/a>, one third of the working age population in low- and middle-income countries lack the basic skills required to get quality jobs. Unskilled workers are forced into unemployment or are stuck in unstable low-wage jobs that offer little career mobility or growth. As they age, they become increasingly vulnerable to job losses and labor market changes.<\/p>\n

Teachers on Wheels equips teenagers with practical skills that will become their foundation to a successful entry into the job market. Students can advance their vocational skills to improve their employment opportunities to become trainees or apprentices at established companies.<\/p>\n

Short term modules in vocational skills such as carpentry, plumbing and farming techniques are designed to help adult learners in low- to no-income rural areas improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Adult Education” tab_id=”adult_education”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

According to World Bank<\/a> calculations, more than two billion working-age adults are not equipped with the most essential literacy skills required by employers.<\/p>\n

With Teachers on Wheels, mature aged learners can learn skills to ensure their independence and become self reliant. These classes are focused on an adult audience and taught in local languages by local teachers. Courses consist of basic Literacy and Numeracy, Counseling as well as Skills Development to improve their economic status and well being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
