While the direct method's focus is on complete involvement, right from
providing laptops to the schools to monitoring progress, the catalytic method
being implemented for the first time in the programme, aims at reaching
schools around the direct schools with computer labs which already have the
necessary hardware through government grants and other charitable initiatives
but are effectively obsolete due to lack of operational knowledge, pedagogical
methodologies, or sheer ignorance and apathy in some cases.
These schools are provided with a curriculum tailored to match the one being
taught at the DPSs and DonBoscos in the country, which is not to say that they
are necessarily the best in the world but they bring the others at par with
the ones who get to study and get into an Infosys or an Accenture. The
teachers are trained in educational software and better pedagogical methods.
The students are tested throughout the programme to gauge improvements in
their learning levels. It is effective, efficient and a sustainable and
cost-effective model.
