With Hard Work and Perseverance Omkar Now Aims For the Stars

Learning is an essential but complicated process that one pursues throughout their life. Like in any other field, changes are inevitable in the education sector as well. While technological innovations have been received well by educationists, many schools continue to promote the traditional one-size-fits-all approach in teaching.

The problem with such an approach is that not all students can adapt to a rigid and fast-paced style of learning. Due to this, a gap forms between their true ability and their performance level and such children are then dubbed slow learners.

Omkar Prabhu Kamble is a class 6 student at the Ramtekdi, Pune Digital Learning Centre (DLC). He used to be one such student at the Centre who had difficulty in understanding several topics. He was either too slow to catch up with the class or would not understand the concept behind each subject. However, in the DLC he gets access to personal attention for learning through a hybrid model of mentor-digital connect.

Over time, with his constant hard work and perseverance, he now not only grasps anything easily but also participates in group-based learning where he helps his classmates in understanding any topic.Omkar believes that this hybrid model has helped him understand the foundation of each topic he learns and has given him a better understanding of concepts in math and science.
