Private Primary Education

Most villagers are unable to fund a private education for their children but if they can find the money they will go without other things to give their children what they regard as a better education.

Some parents will send children to private nursery and primary school to give them a good start. They will then attend a government secondary school which is less expensive for the family. Children in private schools are taught in English medium. If the family do not speak English in the home this makes it difficult and the children are unlikely to gain a good understanding of the English language.

Private Christian schools are thought by some parents to give a better standard of education. The children of parents working at the Christian Medical College and Hospital in Vellore are given the opportunity of private primary education for a reasonable fee.

This Christian primary school (for children of employees of the Christian Medical College in Vellore) endeavours to give the children a wide range of experiences. Each year they hold a concert to celebrate the creative achievements of the children.

The children are also encouraged to enjoy games during break times.

Play equipment such as slides and see-saws are available.
