1. Do you think education is important? Why?
Education is the need of today in this modern world. It creates awareness among the people about social, economical and so many other issues. Now every one questions about educational background of a girl, especially at the time of marriage.

2. What is the contribution of HDF for promoting education in your region?
Since the HDF school is situated in the local community, it is easy for the girls to go to the school, otherwise it will be very difficult to send girls to a faraway school.

3. How many schools has HDF provided in you region and what is the approximate number of children benefiting from it?
I am not aware about the exact total number of schools in our area. However, lots of HDF schools are operational for providing education in the area.

4. Are there any others private, government or NGO based schools in your region? If yes then what is their quality?
There is a govt. primary school in our village. But the teachers in this school are not very keen to ask the students about their studies, they never asked students about what they are studying.

5. Why did you choose to get your child/children admitted in HDF School instead of any other?
It is just because of better quality of education, children are given proper attention and the teachers are very cooperative.

6. Do you think HDF schools are providing better quality of education (including books, teachers, teaching methods etc) than others?
Yes, definitely!

7. If you look at other children studying in other than HDF schools, what difference you find between HDF and other school children?
In HDF schools children are very keen to learn. There is an attraction for students because of joyful learning activities and teacher’s attention towards each individual student because of the manageable size of the classrooms.

8. What would have been the situation of education if HDF had not intervened in your region?
Children from poor families may not be able to continue their studies, because poor people cannot afford to send their children to schools situated far away in the urban areas, since there is no school for elementary classes in our village.

9. Other than the primary school what else do you expect from HDF in the field of education?
We want higher level of education facilities in the area, if possible up to master level.

10. Do you think that HDF education system has brought any change in the education of your region? If yes then explain how?
Yes. Providing education at the doorstep and child-friendly system encourages our kids to go school willingly.

11. Are your children happy with the HDF school system?
Yes. Every day they are telling their elders about their homework and other activites in the school.
