What Components does ASHA fund
  • Coaching centers for primary schools and 10th
    standard MIT / Boston
  • Coaching centers for 9th standard Silicon
    Valley (This previously used to be for 7th
    standard)
  • Rehabilitation of Tsunami victims in Tada Mandal
    Asha Wide
  • NREGA Still under review by SV, Seattle. This
    proposal will also be pursued through Asha
    General funds

3
Background
  • Project reference came to ASHA through AID
  • Was a WAH project in 2000
  • Partially supported by Seattle in the third year
  • Started off with coaching for 10th class students
  • Then expanded the program to primary school
    classes
  • Due to numerous requests from parents started 7th
    class coaching
  • Started the Tsunami project support in 2006
  • Currently pursuing approval for a proposal for
    NREGA awareness campaign

Highlights
  • Motivation and formation of Parents Committees
    (these committees go on to monitor the
    performance of schools)
  • Motivation / mobilization of Children thru
    cultural performances
  • Enrolment of Children while paying attention to
    first timers, drop outs, failed pupils etc.
  • Teacher training thrice every year
  • Coaching for 9th and 10th classes both before and
    after school
  • Coaching for primary classes after school
  • During summer months (after 10th class exams) run
    a 30 day cycle campaign in the project area to
    spread awareness about child labor, importance of
    literacy etc

Highlights contd
  • Schools suffer from students dropping out due to
    parents seasonally migrating out of the area for
    livelihood reasons.
  • Tackling the problem of migration by creating a
    system where the old people of the village take
    care of the children.
  • Successful implementation of NREGA crucial to the
    overall performance of the students
  • 10th graduates are either going for higher
    education (by utilizing the reservation policies)
    or joining technical / vocational courses.
  • These students have developed the culture of
    relating to the community in whatever the manner
    is possible to strengthen the education process
    in the village
  • Importance is also given to retaining the 10th
    class passed students in the community.
  • This helps tremendously in improving awareness.
    Ex Educated youth form the backbone in campaign
    activities for NREGA etc

Dropouts and intervention through more coaching
  • Survey done by Sahanivasa has shown the following
    dropout rates
  • At the Primary schooling level 30
  • At the Seventh standard level 45
  • At the Tenth standard level 25
  • Primary reason for high drop out rate at 7th
    standard is the failure in the 7th standard board
    exam.
  • In this context Sahanivasa received requests from
    the community to start 7th standard coaching.
    (supported by SV last year)
  • Last year govt has abandoned the policy of
    conducting 7th standard exam.
  • Children will face tremendous stress when facing
    the board exam for the first time in 10th
    standard.
  • After consulting with the parent and the teacher
    community Sahanivasa has proposed moving the 7th
    standard coaching to 9th standard coaching.

Future Direction
  • 7th standard board exam has been cancelled.
    Sahanivasa requested to move the 7th standard
    coaching to 9th standard coaching.
  • Will continue with 7th this year and then move to
    9th from next year.
  • Recent talk about expanding the program to all
    classes from 7th through 10th.
  • Pros will improve the results.
  • Cons are we addressing the real problem?
  • Long association with Sahanivasa gives us a
    unique advantage
  • We should attempt to track the progress of
    children
  • To assess the pass and dropout rates in case of
    primary schools
  • To assess the career progress in case of 10th
    class students
  • Overall economic progress of the community
    (metrics ???)
  • How long should we keep funding this project?
    (self sustainability issues)
