Finding
that a majority of schools
serving low-income families
did not have the resources
to take up infrastructure
related improvements, C
fBT
explored possibilities of
partnerships with financial
institutions for capacity
building in such schools,
and HSBC was quick to respond
to the perceived need.
‘EQUIP’:
Enabling Quality Improvement
Programmes in schools
is a combination of financial
assistance from HSBC and educational
support from C
fBT for all-round
quality improvement in schools
serving low-income families.
Around 43 schools in Hyderabad
and Chennai have benefited
under this scheme. The progress
of the schools is being tracked
and monitored by C
fBTES with
EMIS
(Education Management Information
System), a web-based
software, developed specifically
for this purpose.
