EDUCATION

CARE India has over 20 years of experience of educating marginalized children, especially girls from Dalits and Adivasis communities.

We have produced scalable and sustainable models that have proven methodologies and impacts. Some of our devised models include Early Childhood Education and Development; Improving Learning and Quality of Government Schools; Bridging Out of School Children into School; Girls' Leadership and Safe and Secure Education; and STEM Education for Girls.

With each of these programmes, CARE India is committed towards enabling effective implementation of education provisions and policies for rights, entitlements and empowerment of girls from most marginalized sections of the society in safe and secure, inclusive and gender responsive environments.

Context India's education system is grappling with a range of quality and equity challenges, especially for India's poor.

CARE India has produced scalable and sustainable models of education that have proven methodologies and impacts.

The 2011 census data revealed that about 38 million children (in 6 to 13 years' age group) were out of school. More than 60 percent of children in the age group of 3 to 6 years olds lack access to pre-school education. Girls, and children (Dalit, Adivasi) from socially excluded and backward communities are most likely to be excluded from the education system. Additionally, almost a million teachers in India are untrained and trained teachers frequently lack academic

support. School environments are frequently not child friendly; as per District Information System data for Education (DISE), in 2014, 18.6% governments schools lacked a toilet and in 2015-16 only 9.54% schools in the country were compliant to legal frameworks under the Right to Education 2009.

The risk of adolescent girls dropping out of education is heightened by these gaps in government school infrastructure, especially after onset of puberty. Teaching learning materials and textbooks for students, especially in vernacular languages and the mother tongue, are inadequately available.

Across the board, girls are particularly at risk.

Early Childhood Education and Development The first six years of a child’s life are globally acknowledged to be the most critical years with the pace of development being extremely rapid. CARE India works to prepare pre-school children (3 to 6 years) for primary grade education by promoting cognitive, motor skills and early literacy skills development, and promoting positive behaviours on nutrition and hygiene practices in parents and care givers.

We also worked towards system strengthening by building capacities of government functionaries and caregivers and creating feedback and support supervision systems.

Additionally, we also worked with the communities and sensitized them about their role in addressing the needs of a child.

Holitic Approach for Holistic Development CARE India has initiated an all-inclusive intervention for young and adolescent girls and women across age groups from age 0 to 30 years. We are working on their education, employability, and livelihoods enhancement as a result of which, we are able to touch a wide range of issues specific for the marginalized in the district; including preschool education, early nutrition, primary education, adolescent life skills, leadership, career planning etc.

The project interventions aim at ensuring regular preschool education in Anganwadi centres, training of primary school. teachers on Early Grade Reading besides developing resource materials, print rich materials and teaching aids to help teachers in improving children reading competency in Tamil. CARE India has also set up community libraries to help children and adolescent girls to have access to library in villages where there are no reading facilities.

STEM Education for Girls: Teachers Resource Laboratory (TRL) For generations, girls from marginalised and rural communities have been discouraged from pursuing studies in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), which help them to develop a logical and analytical bent of mind. Even the teachers mentoring these girls remain largely incapable and often reluctant to correct the social perception, leading to poor academic performances by their students, especially girls, in Science and Maths.

To advance girl children's aspirations of pursuing STEM disciplines in the future, CARE India is enabling teachers with adequate support in the form of Teachers’ Resource Laboratories (TRLs) and allied infrastructure, experiment table, books, Science and Maths kits, etc. We are also providing support to the teachers in enhancing classroom transactions and application of learnings on the TRL platform.
