In India, the education system has four levels:

The lower primary school is divided into five “standards” or classes, upper primary school into three classes, high school into two classes and higher secondary into two classes.

After High school (age 14 and 15 - classes IX and X) the student can choose to study some Diploma courses, if the student wants to look for job opportunities immediately.

After completing the Higher Secondary (age 16 and 17 - Classes XI and XII) school also the Diploma courses can be chosen.

But to start the Bachelor studies in the universities the student has to complete the Higher Secondary studies, that is the XII^th class.

In India, the schools are managed by the government and by the private.

The government schools provide free education but the quality of education is very poor, and the children are not taught much. So, most of the children go to private school but they need to pay money.

The poor grandparents have grandsons and granddaughters who are very poor, and they are not able to continue their school studies after the Elementary school year because of the poverty.

The family needs to spend money on school fees, notebooks, stationaries, travel and uniforms, school bags, shoes, etc. for their children who go to school. Since they are very poor either they borrow money and land in great debt so that they work as bonded labour for life long or stop their children from going to school and send them to work in the lands.

So, the grandparents will be happy if we can help these children to buy materials like uniform, school bags, shoes etc.
