Education is a natural part of growing up for children. Children are surrounded by schools, homework, teachers, exams and activities. For many children, this scenario is not the same. But learning does not always arrive with guidance. The fear is rarely spoken about. The classroom, the lessons, and even the simplest instructions can feel foreign and intimidating. They carry a fear of asking something new or expressing something they can’t. These fears of asking questions, making mistakes, or simply not understanding can quietly build over time. Pehchaan The Street School understands and works to make them more comfortable and welcome in their learning journey.
Many underprivileged children who are unfamiliar with the classroom, reading books, writing on paper, following instructions, and sitting for long periods find it entirely new to them. At Pehchaan The Street School, education is not only shaped around the system, but it’s shaped around how the children are learning. Teachers and volunteers remain closely involved with students' learning, understanding how a child is learning different things differently. Learning is treated as a process for them instead of a race. Their questions are encouraged, and confusions are treated as normal, which boosts their confidence.
Many children struggle to express themselves openly, especially in educational settings. At Pehchaan The Street School try to help them grow more confident with different activities, such as storytelling, light conversations, group activities and classroom discussions. Students who once avoided eye contact now prepare for various activities without hesitation. They understand mistakes are allowed and it’s not embarrassing.
Beyond the classroom, these changes start reflecting in how the children approach other parts of their lives. The role of teachers and volunteers becomes especially meaningful in this journey. Many children need reassurance more than instruction initially. Pehchaan The Street School focuses on creating this balance. Here discipline exists without pressure, and learning happens without fear. When children feel accepted, they begin to feel responsible for their own growth. They look forward to attending classes, interacting with peers, and taking part in activities. Those who struggled to follow instructions slowly adapt. learning is possible when approached with understanding and care.
Breaking the fear of education is not an instant process. It takes time, patience, and consistent effort. Pehchaan The Street School understands this and continues to support children through every stage of their learning journey. When children learn without fear, they grow with confidence. Pehchaan The Street School helps children take their first steps toward learning with courage, curiosity, and belief in themselves.
