Ten weeks into school, Ujala wins an Award of Excellence
A girl whose relatives said she should not be educated came 3rd in her class, with 452 of 475 marks.
On 15 November 2021 Rising Star scholar Ujala received the Award of Excellence at a private school. Just ten weeks after moving from the SKF Learning Center into grade 3, she came 3rd in her class with 452 of 475 marks.
Her class teacher said: “SKF center’s teaching staff has done a remarkable job grooming a child with no schooling. Showing such excellence within two and a half months is remarkable.”
Relatives had pressured Ujala’s family not to educate her because she is a girl. Today her whole family supports her education. She wants to become a teacher.
