फ se Field, श se Shiksha Ep 10: Paise Chahiye Ki Nahi?

Paise Chahiye Ki Nahi
A young girl employs a clever strategy to get her family’s support for higher education. But she soon discovers that her father is one step ahead of her and thus unravels this love–hate relationship between a father and daughter.

“फ se Field, श se Shiksha” is a series of 10 audio stories coming from the lived experiences and imaginations of education in rural India. How do we look at education outside classrooms? More importantly, who gets access to education at all?  We explore all this and more, as members of our Learning Lab team take us along on their journeys of shiksha. In the last episode of the series, we meet a daughter and father, trying to navigate their bittersweet relationship around their different views on education.
