What is DIVE?
DIVE is a concept that aims to set up a basic digital infrastructure at the government schools which will enable them to get access to education beyond academics virtually. DIVE aggregates all the virtual need into its platform and connect all the stakeholders and helps in providing education to underprivileged government school children with help of corporate volunteers. Education that should inspire and motivate children should give equal importance to both academic and non-academic education. Hence Vimové` Foundation through Project DIVE aims to focus on non-academic virtual classes for the government school children. DIVE also helps the corporate volunteers to unleash their hidden talent and passion by providing the platform to teach the students online and it even helps them to prepare for their geographically dispersed virtual teams.
Why DIVE?
India is a rapidly changing country in which inclusive, high-quality education is of utmost importance for its future prosperity. The government ensures that education is being provided to all but the quality of education being provided in poor particularly in India. For a child’s physical and mental development there needs to be a balance between academic and non-academic sessions at schools. Schools majorly focus on academic learning to an extent wherein the non-academic part of learning is too less focussed. Considering government schools, they do not give much importance to non-academic learning which is a vital component of schooling. This might be due to the lack of infrastructure or other facilities that help conduct such non-academic sessions. The absence of non-academic learning leads to lack of motivation and inspiration among children. Government school teachers most of the instances there is absence of the capabilities or knowledge related to Education Beyond academics which is pivotal in Children’s Holistic development Growth.
DIVE ensures the setting up of digital infrastructure with internet posts which enables the conduct of the virtual non-academic classes. The digital infrastructure is vital for a government school and hence Vimové, through DIVE moves one step forward towards the achievement of the SDG 4 – Quality education for all.
