"The sensitive age of 10-13 years is prone to adopt stigmas related to their passion and fear of being ridiculed by society,” said a statement by the British Council. Corporation officials believe that the curriculum will not only increase awareness among students but will help other teachers from the corporation schools as well. “When the trainers inculcate such values in students, other corporation teachers would learn from that and carry it forward even after six weeks,” said the official..
