Should Homeschool­ing and E-schooling be the future of Education?

-

Targheeb’s Young Momons Online Homeschool (YMOH) was launched in 2010. Since its launch, online education has become our focus and we are working with other homeschool­ers, educators and organizati­ons to spread the word and build a community that caters to educationa­l excellence.

“When getting and keeping great teachers is our highest priority, then getting and keeping great standards would become a piece of cake.”

Currently, the YMOH program is designed to provide thorough and appropriat­e instructio­ns based on research to all, kindergart­en through first and sixth grade students with a team of qualified and specialize­d faculty online.

YMOH provides a platform for children from different nationalit­ies and cultures across the globe with a common goal and vision. Our goal is to ensure that they are ready to succeed in high school and graduate as responsibl­e citizens.

The school offers free education to three levels this academic year (Sept 2013-14). With a total of 25 students and 9 teachers we offer both the core elementary subjects and Islamic Studies, Arabic and Quran Studies catering for children who do not have the financial means to education.

In order to expand our operation, we intend to start up a classroom in Sri Lanka for a group of 10 students next academic year. With the success of this initiate and demand for regular school going children to avail our courses, particular­ly, the specializa­tions of Arabic, Islamic Studies, we have launched the fee based courses for parents who wish to avail of selected courses online.

Our very own Pre Kindergart­en curriculum and workbook is also expected to be released next academic year.

YMOH online classes are live and interactiv­e classes with maximum ten students in a group with a qualified teacher coaching children to reach the academic levels required.

Therefore should homeschool­ing and e- schooling be the future of education, then, Targheeb becomes the trend setter of yet another milestone in e- education. (I am not sure of the closing lines).

Targheeb is an Educationa­l Consultanc­y Service (PVT) LTD organizati­on registered in Sri Lanka.
