Overall high acceptance and positive feedback about the
intervention
Both teachers and students mentioned that the pictorial nature of the
behaviour change communication (BCC) materials and the multimodal
stimulation created interest in the students, including those who had
difficulty in reading and writing. During the FGDs, students mentioned
that they particularly liked the cards, pictorial book, and practical
sessions using grains, vegetables, and other food items. These are
highlighted in the excerpts below:
- “…we have learnt a lot after reading this book. We know
things in detail now; we never felt bored while reading.” (Student,
FGD)
- “…they want to see pictures and have activities; they
can learn better that way.” (Teacher, IDI)
- “Some children are not very bright, they have difficulty in
reading and writing, even such children found the book very useful,
they used to see the pictures and understand.” (Teacher, IDI)
