Plantation Community Schools Receive White Boards from Berendina

Under its Education Development Program initiative, Berendina provided much needed
White Boards for selected two schools in Plantation sector. The beneficiary schools were
Dunkled and Ingestre Tamil Vidyalayams, who received 6 x 4 feet size 24 White Boards
recently. Both schools have a students’ population over 600 studying in Grade 1 up to G. C.
E. (O/L).

It was noted that using white boards will minimize health related drawback both for students
and academic staff which can be traced to the traditional blackboard method. White Chalks
handling by academic staff can cause respiratory issues while dark boards can cause vision
related issues for students in the long run. Providing white boards to classrooms can create
improvement of learning facilities in these schools as well as encouragement for both
students and academic staff. The school management and the School Development Society
are responsible for the maintenance and continuation of the usage of these white board in
day-to-day educational activities.
