 (Amit  Sharma/[email protected])  

 Aadharshila    

Residen$al  School  for  Girls  

Background  •  Pra$rodh  Sansthan  is  working  with  Tribal  community  of  Bhadesar  district,  

Chi2orgarh  (Rajasthan)  since  2004-­‐2005  

•  Its  an  offshoot  of  Prayas  which  has  been  ac$vely  advoca$ng  Tribal  Rights  since  over  few  decades  with  diverse  ini$a$ves    –  Tribal  land  rights  –  Cast  discrimina$on  and  Khat  Andolan  –  Women  rights  and  SHG  mobiliza$on  –  RTI  and  MNREGA  Advocacy  –  Food  Rights    

•  Pra$rodh  Sanstan  focuses  primarily  on  girl  educa$on  and  women  rights/awareness,  with  flagship  project  seeded  through  AfE-­‐SV  support  in  November  2008  

•  The  organiza$on  has  philosophical  roots  in  tribal  rights  movement,  but,  with  a  singular  focus  and  belief  in  women  being  the  change  makers  in  the  society  

   

Objec$ves  &  Goals  •  Upli^  and  Empower  backward  and  marginalized  tribes  through  educa$on  and  

awareness      •  Prepare  and  mo$vate  young  girls  as  change  makers,  not  only  to  empower  but  to  

influence  the  next  genera$on  of  community!                  

•  Bring  awareness  about  educa$on  in  the  community  with  expecta$on  that  it  will  in  turn  lead  to  inquisi$veness  and  awareness  in  general  –  educa$on  is  a  big  enabler!  –  Mo$va$on  is  to  make  children  ecologically  &  socially  aware  and  get  some  basic  literacy,  instead  of  

a2aining  grades  and  class  a2endance      

•  Bridge  the  divide  between  the  first  genera$on  learners  and  the  government  schools/programs  –  Use  self-­‐paced/self-­‐mo$vated  learning  techniques  that  is  suitable  to  the  environmental  reali$es      

•  Leverage  government  schemes  &  programs  and  bring  policy  benefits  to  the  community  such  programs  are  meant  to  –  Not  to  run  a  formal  school  but  to  act  as  a  bridge  for  mo$vated  children  to  get  access  to  the  

government  schools      

Objec$ves  &  Goals  •  Residen$al  School  for  Girls  was  started  in  late  2008  with  AfE-­‐SV  funding  

•  Employ  alternate  educa$on,  self-­‐paced/self-­‐mo$vated,  learning  method  for  first  genera$on  learners  from  tribal  community  

•  Train  girls  to  Grade-­‐V  equivalent  level  and  enroll  mo$vated  students  into  Kasturba  Gandhi  Balika  Vidyalaya  for  Girls  –  KGBV  is  a  part  of  central  government  scheme  under  which  residen$al  higher  secondary  level  

schools  are  opened/operated  across  the  country  

•  Make  students  socially  &  ecologically  aware;  and  build  strong  long-­‐term  partnership  with  their  communi$es/families  –  Address  rampant  social  issues  e.g.  child  marriages,  illiteracy  through  empowerment  of  girl  child    

Project  Background  •  Residen$al  school  in  Amarpura,  Bhadesar  Dis2.,  Chi2orgarh

–  Minimal  infrastructure  investment,  although  rental  facility  has  caused  some  minor  issued  in  the  past  

–  Individual  cots  have  been  changed  to  bunk  beds  with  local  help  that  consume  rela$vely  less  space  and  more  organized

Project  Discussion  •   Project  uses  alternate  self-­‐paced  learning  model  based  on  methods  and  tools  from  Degantar  

•   Learning  model  is  based  on  a  mix  of  scheduled  classes  and  self-­‐paced  group  ac$vi$es  

•   State  curriculum  is  used  for  measuring  and  evalua$on  of  learning  level  specifically  to  meet  Grade-­‐V  requirement  

•   Teachers  iden$fy  mo$vated  students  and  coach  them  specifically  for  gradua$on  and  admission  into  KGRS  program  

•   Formal  evalua$on  and  class  structure  along  with  self-­‐paced  model  is  cri$cal  to  ensure  transi$on  into  formal  school  environment  

•   Residen$al  school  model  is  not  to  isolate  children  from  there  home  environment  but  to  give  them  space  for  self  explora$on  and  group  learning
