INCREASED GIRL ENROLMENT IN SCHOOLS COMPARED WITH NON-PROGRAM SCHOOLS

More girls were enrolled in program schools than in non-program schools. We have achieved this result through effective community mobilization and motivation of parents and girls in each village.

The attendance figures show the status of girls enrolled in program and non-program schools at different points of time. While there was a 5% dip in the number of girls enrolled in non-program schools over the last academic year, program schools showed consistent positive results in retaining the girls in schools.

The increased interest and participation of the community, SEC members and parents with support from us ensured that schools and teachers were more sensitized and attentive to the needs of girls. A change in teachers’ attitude and commitment was witnessed at the outcome level. The schools organized an increasing number of creative programs for the girls.

This included cultural events, sports, quizzes and other activities, which boosted the confidence and spirit of teamwork among the girls. CLT has helped us in explaining the subjects, concepts in a better way. Children work in groups, help each other and learn from peers.
