SCHOOL BASED ACTIVITY - Empowerment of Girls as Empowerment of Society

-
“When girls are empowered, society flourishes.”


As part of our B.Ed curriculum at Kerala University College of Teacher Education, Thevally, we ten teacher trainees had the opportunity to conduct a school-based activity at Govt. Model Girls High School, Thevally. The theme of the programme was “Empowerment of Girls as Empowerment of Society”, a topic that holds great relevance in today’s world. The session was conducted for the students of Class 9 (combining 9A and 9B) on 16th September 2025 at 3 pm.

The programme began with a prayer, followed by the welcome speech by Haripriya G. The Headmistress of the school, Smt. Baby Chithra, graciously inaugurated the session. After the inauguration, we teacher trainees jointly took up the responsibility of presenting the theme through speeches, slides, videos, and an activity session.

The theme presentation included:

Education and Girl Empowerment – Aswani M

Women Who Inspire – Sithara Beegam R

Right and Legal Support – Sreelekshmi A S

Economic Empowerment – presented by me (Nayana S S)

Breaking Stereotypes – Fathima Rasad

Along with these sessions, Athulya Viswanathan led an interactive activity that kept the students actively engaged. The programme concluded with a motivational message and a call for action by Sruthy M, followed by a heartfelt vote of thanks by Midhula A S.

In total, 49 students participated with keen interest, making the programme lively and impactful.

I had the privilege to present on the topic of Economic Empowerment. Through my slides, I introduced the students to the concept of being financially independent and emphasized the importance of keeping oneself as a priority. The slides not only helped me structure the session but also attracted the students’ attention, keeping them engaged throughout.

Being part of this collective effort with my co-trainees was truly enriching. From inviting our HM for the inauguration to handling various parts of the programme together, we learned teamwork, planning, and execution. Watching the students listen attentively and respond with curiosity gave me immense satisfaction and strengthened my confidence as a teacher trainee.

The programme “Empowerment of Girls as Empowerment of Society” was more than just a class activity——it was a reminder of the crucial role education plays in shaping confident, independent, and empowered young women. For us teacher trainees, it was an experience of learning by doing, and for the students, it was a spark to dream bigger and strive for empowerment in every sphere of life.

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism." - Colin Powell I started my 40-day B.Ed teaching practice internship at Government Model Girls High School, Kollam, in Thevally. This first week was a blend of learning, challenges, and excitement as I navigated through teaching practices, interactions with students, and adapting to the school environment. Day 1 - 14/07/25 - Monday It was a mix of excitement and nerves as I took a 5E model class on "Atoms" for 8B students in Chemistry. I used simple analogies and experiments to convey the concept, and the pupils were highly interactive as I encouraged their participation. I felt a sense of accomplishment completing the lesson plan despite struggling a bit with using the whiteboard (not being used to it before). A bit disappointed I couldn't ask review questions at the end due to poor time management, but I did ask continuous questions throughout to reinforce the concept. We also participated in ...

“Examinations not only test knowledge, but also patience, responsibility, and teamwork.” The sixth week of my teaching practice, from 18th August to 22nd August 2025, marked a change of pace as the Onam examinations began at school. The vibrant classroom atmosphere was replaced by a quieter, more focused environment. Instead of regular teaching, our responsibilities shifted to assisting with examination duties, distributing question papers, and ensuring smooth conduct of exams. This week gave me a new perspective on the administrative and organizational side of school life, beyond teaching and learning . Day 25 - 18/08/2025 - Monday The first day of Onam examinations began with much anticipation. I was assigned examination duty in Room 8A.
