After-school tuition is an off-shoot of the Family Support Project (FSP) and began in 2006.  Many children from FSP families and those nearby had a poor record of school attendance, so it was decided to provide extra tuition in the evenings. Three nights a week, from 6.00 – 8.00pm, some 25 or so children meet in the two rooms of the Anganavadi centre to do homework and prepare for exams. This runs from 1st to 10th standard classes, helping the children improve their marks in English, Mathematics and Science. The scheme has proved very successful, because children who were previously behind educationally have gone on to complete 10th class, with several entering training in nursing, carpentry, tailoring, driving, etc. Two of the tutors, Priscilla and Ratna Rani, are themselves from FSP families and previously benefitted from the After school tuition. They have been teaching here for a few years now. £15 a month pays for the cost of tutors for this programme.
