To contribute towards improving the quality of education and encourage more children to stay in school, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan recently taught children for a day in Kolkata.

As part of a campaign 'P&G Shiksha', Soha turned teacher for the day, involved the children in some interactive learning by implementing several fun tactics.

She even painted a wall of 'P&G Shiksha School' here to help complete the on-going construction activities.

"I truly believe that education is a basic right of every child and it is heartening to see a movement like P&G Shiksha facilitating education for underprivileged children and helping them realise their dreams and providing them a better standard of living," Soha said in a statement.
 

She said that with 42 per cent rural areas in India still not having access to primary schools and 30 per cent of primary schools not having proper toilets, infrastructure is a key issue at schools across the country.

During her visit, she also engaged kids in a rapid fire round on a wide range of subjects.
