Education

In course of time, learning environment of the schools has been enhanced in comparison to the past years. The school beautification, construction of the additional classrooms and maintaining the toilet, installation of the drinking water facilities has encouraged learners to attend school regularly.

YCDA in coordination with Edukans Foundation, Netherlands have done a Start School Programme. Where in we have worked on 5 major indicators such as School environment, Learning methods, Teaching methods, school management and Community involvement.
We took 46 nos of schools in the first phase and below are the impact and results!!

Impact -

  • Out of 46 schools 35 schools having improved the class room environment, like repairing the Floors, walls and roof
  • Out of 46 schools 34 numbers of schools having improved toilet facilities 16 numbers of schools having separate toilets for both boys and girls Access the Sanitary facilities.
  • 36 Numbers of schools having the library facilities and around 1100 children are accessing the library books.
  • Out of the 46 schools the Electric facility have been ensured among 37 schools
  • Playground -Out of 46 only the 16 schools having the playground facilities for the children.
  • 33 schools are having the school boundaries
  • All the 46 schools have been ensured the kitchen rooms.

Children are learning effectively in the class room as the teachers are following the certain principles like use of the low cost and no cost TLM prepared by the children and teachers themselves, encouraging to the children to read and write. Usage of the ICT during the teaching inspiring to the children to get joyful learning.

Impact -

  • 46 no’s of the children cabinets are functioning and 1544 children are actively participating in the children club meetings and Sunday classes and contributing in micro planning.
  • Out of 46 schools 20 children clubs are organizing the “reading mela” in their communities. (Reading mela is an innovative activity by the children in the presence of the community to enhance reading abilities)
  • 185 children exhibit leadership qualities and their confidence has been tremendously developed in paving ways to advocacy for the quality education.
  • Across 33 schools, 41 children have been trained on preparing the low cost no cost TLM facilitated by the teachers themselves.
  • 600 children actively participate in the annual children festival and showcase their skills.
  • Out if 46 schools 30 schools are using the idea box and 1100 children are getting benefited out of it.
  • Special holiday camps have put positive outcomes on their personalities.

 

Effective teaching methods are one of the significant components of impactful outcomes. Most importantly, the idea of joyful learning is to be inculcated among the pupils. Under this indicator,  the major reflection was put on detailed lesson planning, attention was drawn to real-life practices, concept building, encouraging learners confidence, managing multi-classroom management.

 

This indicator reflects whether the headmaster (& team) are having a pedagogical and didactical vision or policy present, whether they are jointly making strategic plans, systematic monitoring & evaluation of teachers performance, and systematic monitoring of student performance.

For every child, parents are the best teachers in the formative years. However, in rural areas the parents literacy being  low, is a concern. In such situations, it is very important to have a for parents to be in touch with the child's teachers for better monitoring of the child's progress. Further, the community's involvement in proper school functioning is also vital. To address such issues, the existence and effectiveness of School Management Committees (SMC) or Parents teachers Association, teachers direct responsiveness and relationship with parents was established through counselling and training. Regular meetings were ensured for an impactful result.

SCHOOL BUILDING- MUNDAPADA GUPS

  • Mundapada GUPS is a village situated in Mundapada GP of Boudh District. Maximum households depend on agriculture and daily wages where 134 children from the village were going to the Mundapada GUPS from class –I to VIII, out of 6 class rooms, two of the class rooms roof were fully damaged and were unfit for reading, all the students from class 1 to VIII were reading in 4 class rooms. Which was big issue & challenge for the teachers. The issue was initially discussed in the School Management Committee meeting.
  • The SMC members made a resolution to build a new school building within 2 months. In order to reduce the cost of Labour, the SMS members offered to build it by themselves and the materials cost were born by the Sarpanch of the Mundapada panchayat.
  • The Sarpanch sanctioned the grant in consultation with the Collector and the school building is now built and fully functional!
