Education for dropout children

Project Summary:

The project educated 100 girls and boys (drop out/out of school) with basic level of education in sustainable Community Based Schools to be established by Kalp Samaj Sevi Sanstha.

Project Goal:

“Vulnerable children have improved access to quality education in targeted areas.”

The proposed project would adopt a two-pronged approach expanding the number of non formal schools along with enhancing the quality of the teaching offered in the schools. Quality of education is viewed as the learning outcome of students which is primary concern of all stakeholders. Quality learning cannot be expected without quality inputs. Quality inputs would include adequate place/space, trained teachers, teaching kit, refresher courses for teachers, supplementary reading material for teachers and students, community support and local government involvement.

Project Beneficiaries:

The project has implemented in Nawagarh block of Janjgir Champa district of Chhattisgarh state and benefited 100 vulnerable school age girls/boys, their parents and local community members by addressing the following issues:

• Inaccessibility of quality education to vulnerable children;
• Parents’ preference for child labor than education;
• Scarcity of trained female teachers in remote areas;
• Gender insensitivity

The project will have greater impact on the social fabric of these villages as community schools will continue to function as educational and advocacy institutions to address vulnerabilities of girl child in these remote villages.
