Is Deepam aiming at replacing teachers in Schools ?
No, not at all. Deepam, infact, complements students’ learning through the teachers. Deepam believes that good teachers at school can never be replaced. They get students inspired and capture their attention. They have the best opportunity to shape the students. Most of the teachers do a fantastic job with meagre rewards. Deepam aims to provide a little bit extra that a school teacher is unable to provide, as a result of workloads / other demands. Deepam enables students to be ‘well rounded’ on top of the foundation that a school teacher has laid.
