Youth Education & Development

Initial situation / problem statement

The problem addressed by this project is related to the poor system of education at orphanages and village schools in the Talas region. There are not enough resources to support English language self-learners. Schools lack English language, math, IT professional teachers, and libraries lack proper English textbooks. Students do not usually have access to the internet. Schools and orphanage students are often discriminated against according to their social status. Having a lack of physical activity and spending too much time at home has become a habit for them. They have a lot of free time but spend it unproductively.
