Primary School Syllabus is followed as per the text books of children
from 1st to 5th standard. We do engage the children to learn by playing games and some
visible aids through which they can learn the syllabus easily. They will have extra curricular activities and
small plays through which they can understand the society and the environment around
them.

Description of Current
school facilities (Building, equipment etc.)
All the high Schools are run
within the government school compound.
The schools allot separate room for morning and evening sessions.
Out of 15 primary schools four
are run in community halls of their respective village, three are in temples,
four are conducted in government primary schools and remaining four are
conducted in commonly allotted places where there are no structures like all
other above categories.
Regarding the equipments – the
government school equipments are used for high schools and we don’t have any
equipments for primary schools except few educational kits.
Describe the potential
improvements required in facilities:
A mobile library will enhance the students educational and articulation skills. We had proposed for the library during this year’s project which we had to remove from the budget as we are not able to get the sufficient funds during the year from ASHA.
What are the perceived improvements seen for the last one year
F
Two high schools which were used to be backward in the percentage of
results have improved
F
The school dropouts have reduced despite of the
severe drought and migration in the project area.
F
Parents committees have played creative role when
the formal school teachers were giving troubles to run the school.
F
District education department is able to recognize
the efforts of SAHANIVASA team on children’s education.
F
The 10th class results are improved from
79% to 91% during last year.
F
Over a period of 4 years of our intervention for 10th
class students the results has been galloped from 12% to 91%. This is possible only with the partnership
of ASHA.
What are the problems you have faced last year?
æ
Severe drought did not allow the students of 10th
standard to spend more time for concentrating on education. They had to go for work in holidays like
Sundays to work under food for work scheme.
Though it is painful for us to stop such important work to fill their
bellies, we had to be little harsh to keep the rules strict.
æ
The government high school teachers lost the income
as the rural poor children getting better results than the students gone for
tuition with them. In order to stop
SAHANIVASA, this year they did not offered the places. We had to approach again DEO for the
permission.
What do you think is the overall effectiveness of this project over the
past year
- We have seen the motivation levels of the parents
when the government school teachers did not allow SAHANIVASA to use their
compounds for special coaching. The results of previous years have
encouraged the parents to send their children for higher education. This
is one of the remarkable changes from previous negative attitude on
education to the positive response of today.
- The students of all poor families are able to feel
confident of get through 10th class examination as there has
been positive results year-by-year.
- We could able to achieve 100% school enrolments in
all the villages and are able to see the regular attendance in many
schools.
- Atleast 30% of children in migration families are
able to stay back in the villages as those parents are giving priority for
children’s education.
- We could stop the child labour practice in all the
15 villages where the primary schools are going on. All the child labour attending the
evening classes.
- The positive attitude of 15 schools has been
influencing the neighbouring villages to send their children to school
regularly.
- The primary school performances have been
extremely good, hence the children have been appreciated in the formal
school.
- Parents of both primary and high schools have
developed the culture of meeting with the teachers and attend the parents
committees, discuss about the performances of the children etc.,
Anything you would like to
say to us:
We thought this year we could
develop mobile library, which would have helped the students to develop the
interest on studying general knowledge books, stories and various other books. Since we could not get the anticipated
budget, we had to drop the mobile library this year. Hope we will be able to
address this issue in future.
Thanking you
