Project activities and timelines
Following are the project activities proposed under the project “Delivering quality education for children of vulnerable section in Rural areas of kokrajhar, B,T,R (Assam)” :
- Early childhood care and education support (Pre primary support) in Government school to reduce drop out percent (180): Three preprimary learning centers will be established in three different Government school premises (with permission). The main objective of setting up these centers is to provide early childhood care and education support to the children of pre primary stage during their school time.
- Learning Improvement Centre to reach 200 students: Three learning improvement centers will be established in each village (school based) for providing education support to students of class II to V. Approximately, 22 children will be there in each center getting learning improvement educational support. Three well trained teachers will be entrusted for taking classes by adopting appropriate pedagogical approaches. Special emphasis will be given on bringing about a holistic and all round development in children. The centers will run either on morning or afternoon shifts, according to the suitability of the beneficiaries.
- Staff capacity building or Teacher’s training: Capacity building of staff on the major issues like development of course curriculum, teaching methodologies, development of TLMs, classroom management and other administrative issues will be the most important activity of the program. Internal training camp will be conducted to enhance the effectiveness of staff and to sensitize them towards the needs of the project. In addition with this, exposure visits to other organization will be conducted for team members.
- Nutrition garden in school premises: A school nutrition garden is a place where herbs, fruits and vegetable are grown around in the school premises for use in the preparation of Mid-Day Meal. School nutrition garden are a wonderful way to use the school to reconnect the students to a natural world and make them aware about the truth source of their food, and teach them valuable gardening and agriculture concept and skill that integrate with several subject, such as math, science , health & physical education and social studies. Also ‘Mother’s Group’ will be engaged in nutrition programs because we are very much clear with importance of nutrition and its connection to ‘Good health’. In future we initiative home base nutrition garden with mothers group.
- Teaching Learning Materials (TLM) Workshop: TLMs are tools which are to be used by teachers to help learners to learn concept with ease and efficiency. TLMs also help in bringing novelty and freshness in classroom teaching as it relieves learners from anxiety, fear and bedroom. So, AsHA will organize workshop with the new and advanced TLM time to time. Each and every teacher should be accessed to this kind of workshop so that they can be skilled with the support of advance TLM. AsHA will arrange support of experts for designing ‘TLM’ for each staff during the workshop who engages themselves.
- Educational tour or exposure visit for students: Exposure visits will be conducted at various places of historic interests and educational purposes once in a year. This activity will refresh the children with positive energy and they will accrue practical knowledge from these kinds of visits.
- Sports and recreation: The centre will provide an environment where every child should get recreational materials by which they can play and enjoy their childhood fully. Along with this, AsHA will organize various events like quiz, debate etc. to increase their general awareness. AsHA will also organize joyful and enjoyment games every month on Saturday. Also, will organize Annual sports in a year to support students.
