Girl Education Programme for Out-of-School Girl Child.
(Technical Proposal)
A sizable number of out-of-school children are in the habitations where schooling facility is available but these children either did not join the school or dropped out before completing their schooling. These children may not fit into the rigid formal system. To bring such children back to school; back to school camp and Bridge Courses strategies have been implemented by the Government but without much success. There is urgent need to open GIRL EDUCATION Centers for integrating the health, nutrition and education rights of the children in need. RENU Foundation) proposes to open 20 such GIRL EDUCATION Centers in Slums and resettlement colonies of Delhi and NCR. Delhi is an important industrial town in which is developing quite rapidly. A lot of construction activities are going on. This is resulting in increase of urban slum areas as well as migrating labors and minorities. The children of such population are usually deprived of any educational facility, proper sanitation and usually malnourished. RENU Foundation) has earlier run Some NFE (Non formal Education) and REC (Remedial Education Centers) centers in Delhi and Faridabad with the support of valuable donors. However, under these centers only education facilities were being provided and it was not an integrated approach. RENU Foundation) understood the different needs of such children. There is need for private efforts and RENU Foundation) has accepted the challenge.ABOUT GIRL EDUCATION Girl Education Programme for specific categories of very deprived children e.g., child labour, street children, migrating children, working children, children living in difficult circumstances and older children in the7+ age group especially adolescent girls will address the needs of such children for education, sanitation & health, and nutrition.Bridge education will be an important component of GIRL EDUCATION to bring out-of school children in the fold of Elementary Education. The scheme envisages that child-wise planning is undertaken for each out-of-school children.However, only formal education is not sufficient to address the needs of these children. These children are to be provided facility for sanitation, hygiene training and good living practices.Another important component of integrated education and development of the child is health. The regular health check up of each and every child is required to be conducted so as to prepare health profile of each child. Vaccination etc. has to be followed with the parents of these children.Malnutrition is another area of concern for such children. It is recommended that each such child will be provided with supplementary nutrition at the GIRL EDUCATION Centre.The bridge education will be available to all the children in need, within the radius of one and half km, of 6-14 years age group who are not going to school.Components of GIRL
EDUCATION: Providing Bridge Education to out-of-school children to mainstream them into formal education system

Providing Bridge Education to out-of-school children to mainstream them into formal education systemBACKGROUND:A child is considered to be out of school if he or she was of primary school age (usually between the ages of 6 and 11 years) and not currently enrolled in primary school.A recent survey of primary schools and pupils across India showed the average absentee rate to be 30% on the days that schools were visited. Moreover, pervasive poor quality schooling means that even regular attendance does not guarantee that children master basic literacy and numeracy skills.In terms of educational experience, out-of-school children can be divided into three groups: those who were previously enrolled in primary school but dropped out; those who have not yet enrolled but are likely to do so later; and those who will probably never enroll.The background characteristics of children out of school are as under:Mother’s education: On average, a child whose mother has no education is twice as likely tobe out of school than a child whose mother has some education.Gender: On average, 136 girls were not in school for every 100 boys in India.Place of residence: 16% of such children are from urban areas.Household wealth: Children from the poorest households are three times as likely to be out of school than children from the wealthiest. The ratio is the same for boys and girls.TARGET GROUP:There is great diversity among ‘out of school’ children. These could range from children living in remote school-less habitations, working children, street children, deprived children in urban slums, girls belonging to minority community, girls involved in domestic chores, sibling care, children of migrating families etc. in the programme area. According to the needs of out-of-school children in the programme area and experience drawn from our previous work, the following 3 groups need to be focused in a result oriented manner:

DURATION:Three hours a day6 days a week (Mon-Sat) – will follow local school holidays.
GROUPS:Each Centre will have 2 groups depending upon age and educational background:First group: Class 1 & 2Second Group: Class 3,4 & 5 METHODOLOGY:A house to house survey will be conducted to identify the out-of-school children among the target group. The parents of the child will be persuaded to send children to our Centre.
A child will be motivated to attend the GIRL EDUCATION Centre. A personal care of child will be undertaken.
If a child remains absent from GIRL EDUCATION Centre for more than 2 days, the teacher or counselor will visit his/her home to find out the reason.
Free books, copies, (if possible uniforms), shoes will be provided.
Supplementary nutritious food will be provided by the Centre.
A teacher will handle a group of approx 25 students only. There will be 2 such groups. Therefore at each Centre, there will be two teachers.
These teachers will be volunteers who will be paid honorarium.
Each child will receive training from the teacher depending upon his/her educational needs.
Contacts will be made with the nearest Government schools/ private schools to give admission to such children after completion of training.
In addition to formal education, children will be encouraged to participate in other co-curricular activities (games, cultural programme, outings. Sports, celebration of festivals etc.) organized by the GIRL EDUCATION Centre.
There will be provision for classes on ‘moral education’.
A monthly evaluation will be done by the teacher / programme officer on regular basis.
A separate file on child’s progress will be maintained which will be reviewed regularly to find out the potentials as well as remedial actions.
A psychologist/counselor will visit each Centre at least once a month.
The GIRL EDUCATION Centre will follow up with the school where the child is admitted at least for one year to avoid further drop-out.
Each child will be treated as individual and personal attention will be paid to each child. Teachers will be trained to treat each child with sympathy and love.
Providing remedial coaching to weak students after mainstreamingBACKGROUND:It has been observed that once a child is admitted in a school after training, he/she may not be able to cope with the school pressure or not able to understand some subjects. This results in further drop-out leading to failure of the efforts.
METHODLOGY:To help these children, an after-school coaching facility will be provided by GIRL EDUCATION teachers wherein such children will be helped out in solving their problems and home work. There may be nominal fee for providing such coaching to these students. This will help them in continuing their studies even after leaving the GIRL EDUCATION Centre.From time to time, other activities like picnic, outings, games, celebration of festivals etc, will also be organized so that these children remain engaged in the GIRL EDUCATION activities.
DURATION:2 hours a day, 6 days a week.At least for one year after leaving GIRL EDUCATION Centre.
GROUPS:Children will be divided in groups according to their class.In addition to normal study, they will be given training on Personality Development from time to time. Providing knowledge about personal hygiene and healthIt has been observed that most of these children lack knowledge about personal hygiene and health. This further results in their disorientation, and absenteeism.The training on personal hygiene and sanitation helps children to consider improving their lifestyle to reduce disease and infection. Promoting effective and low-cost sanitation, encouraging good hygiene and improving access to clean water supplies helps children to live healthier lives. Young children and babies are particularly at risk of infection and disease from poor sanitation, poor hygiene practices, and dirty water. The training helps children to reflect on the particular challenges in their own living situations that make access to effective sanitation and safe water supplies difficult.Each topic in this training is designed to encourage small group discussion in a relaxed and open manner. The guide aims to build children’s understanding of the basic facts about good hygiene.Starting with small instructions like brushing the teeth, combing, daily bathing, nail cutting etc. children will be trained on bigger issues like save water, clean clothes etc.This training will help to build their self-esteem.Providing health check and follow-upPoverty is at the root of many of the nutritional and associated health problems, but the children who will be born over the coming decades cannot afford to wait for a new economic order to provide the solution. Through the promotion of health checkup and follow up, necessary help can be targeted at this vulnerable population.A medical checkup of each and every child will be done within 15 days of admission. This will include preparing their health card, identifying existing diseases including HIV, vaccination chart etc.The GIRL EDUCATION Centre will coordinate with hospital for any existing disease. A copy of health card will be given to the parents of the child. The teacher will follow up the vaccination chart. Providing supplementary nutrition In India, severe protein energy malnutrition is one of the important factors associated with high infant and child mortality rate. The calorie intake of severely malnourished children was found to be low and insufficient in all the three age groups in various studies. Hence, direct intervention in the form of supplementary nutrition is necessary to be provided to malnourished children for improving their nutritional status.
Under GIRL EDUCATION, in addition to formal education, a healthy nutritious food will be provided to all the children. In case of anemic girls, additional supplement will be provided. Where doctor has advised, we shall provide further nutrition.We shall have provide child-friendly menu that keep changing. Sometimes, pre-cooked food like dalia, halwa, sometimes fruits, sometimes parathas etc. will be provided. It will be ensured that children eat the food provided in the class. Training of parents on education, sanitation, health and nutrition of childrenParents play a pivotal role in child education. Regular meeting with parents is therefore necessary for continuation of education of the children.RENU Foundation) will maintain close interaction with the parents of the children on regular basis. A monthly meeting will be organized with the parents. Also, the teacher will visit their homes on regular intervals and discuss the issues related to education, sanitation, health and nutrition.

Financial Proposal
Cost of an GIRL EDUCATION Capital Cost
Considering the life of material is 3 years so, in 3 years 50 x 3 = 150 children in education and 50 x 2 = 100 children in remedial education therefore cost per child per Annum = Rs. 412.00 Recurring Cost
Cost per child per month = Rs. 2148.00
Total cost for One GIRL EDUCATION center (For a Year) = Rs. 640000.00
Total cost for one Girl Child for a Year = Rs 2560 Only.
