Saakshar – Project Report 2004-2005
• Education is vital for growth of the individual and thereby the Society
• Govt. spending and International funding to further education is increasing each year – In the union budget 2005-06, the allocation for education has been Rs 18336 crores
• However, Literacy rates have increased only marginally from 50% to 62% in last ten years
• School drop-out percentages have also been high at 60%
Introduction
Internal Factors
• Children from slum and villages not ready – mentally and biologically for school
• No pre-learning skill taught at home
• No exposure to basic cognitive concepts
• No pencil holding skills
• No familiarity to school environment – sitting amidst four walls, paying attention to teacher and grasping things from Blackboard
• No toilet training
• No sense of time and routine – as their parents leave early for work and they grow up in the care of siblings often loitering about in the open
• No positive reinforcement from parents
Problems
External Factors
• Teaching Methodology is
• fast paced
• not paying attention to filling up the gaps
• not activity based
• Teacher-child ratio is very low
• Infra-structure lacking
Problems
• Pre-school preparation for pupil
• Curriculum modified to fill up areas of gap
• Teaching methodology – activity based employing more games and teaching aids made from local environment
• Parent-teachers meet, Parent visits to school
• Events in school – to allow pupil to discover and show-case their talent
• Emphasis on Evaluation and Preparation for mental and biological readiness for school
Strategies at Saakshar
