[MLE]Mother tongue based pre-school in Orissa; Ullash
Dear MLE friends, Sometimes you come across good new MLE related initiatives. Here is one: The NGO Ullash is piloting of a mother tongue based pre-school programme in Orissa. They write on their website ( http://ullash.org/index.php ): The Programme “ Successful Transition for Young Tribal Children in Odisha” primarily focuses on the preparation and piloting of a mother tongue based pre-school programme which will enhance children's learning in Anganwadis and pre-schools / other ECE centres and give them a sound foundation for a smooth transition to primary schools. The project is supported by the Bernard Van Leer Foundation and implemented by the state government and NGOs (PREM, CYSD and CLAP) in remote rural and tribal pockets.
