Challenges
• Unable to retain teachers
• Training teachers: They are ill-equipped, and many of them are first time teachers.
• Language barrier: families speak tribal, teachers teach telugu
• Very low pass percentages: First generation learners
• Lack of clarity on what AID is doing exactly (micro-credit, land rights, youth, water preservation, right to information and education
• Funds not reaching in time (needed by May 1st week, and Nov 1st week)
• Have concerns about the seriousness of ASHA (2006-07 Asha took full responsibility but things are not working out)
