Vasudha Kapoor
Kapoor writes about a few government schools in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, that experimented with ways to engage parents and community members. Supported by Mera Gaon Meri Dunia and partners, the initiative facilitated meaningful Parent Teacher Meetings (PTMs) through visual displays of students’ work. Regular communication through newsletters further strengthened trust and fostered parents’ sense of ownership such that they became involved in school activities and improvements.
