Our first batch of 165 teachers are about to complete their Preschool Diploma Program. We need funds to continue this program for the second batch and beyond to train the remaining 3000 preschool teachers in NP alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Rationale behind this project<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is scientifically proved that 90% of brain development in a person takes place before the age of 5, if children are nurtured in well run preschools under the guidance of qualified preschool teachers, which we do not have at present in the North and East and in the Hill Country. Our aim is to provide this educational foundation to all children aged 3 to 5 years, who will be well prepared to start their primary school education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neatedc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Preschool_teachers_in_a_collaborative_202607091416.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neatedc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Preschool_teachers_in_a_collaborative_202607091416.jpeg 1376w, https:\/\/www.neatedc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Preschool_teachers_in_a_collaborative_202607091416-300x167.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.neatedc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Preschool_teachers_in_a_collaborative_202607091416-1024x572.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.neatedc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Preschool_teachers_in_a_collaborative_202607091416-768x429.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we are asking from you to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsor a teacher to acquire this University Diploma &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">150, equivalent to the cost of 40 coffees in a London Caf\u00e9!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give a standing order for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 upwards per month<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will transform the educational potential of all Tamil children equally by providing them life chances beyond imagination.
