| Background |
|
| AIE with financial support of Robert Cotton Associates (RCA) Khanewal and Babar Ali Foundation established a Training and Resource Centre (TARC) at Khanewal District in June, 2003. In July 2005, the funding from the RCA elapsed but Babar Ali Foundation decided to carry on this project. In June 2007, AIE decided to replicate the concept of Child Friendly School in Khanewal after getting very encouraging outputs from the six UPE districts of Punjab. Work plan for year 2007 was shared and approved from the EDO (Education) Khanewal. As pilot project, 25 primary schools (20 Girls Primary Schools+5 Boys Primary Schools) were identified. This was a cluster based identification within the radius of 25 kms from the TARC. The criteria for the selection of the schools comprised of at least two of the following indicators: |
|
- Minimum number of students in each school is 100.
- Minimum number of teachers in each school is 2.
- A Boundary wall and washroom.
|
| Current Activities |
|
| TARC Khanewal this year is replicating the Child Friendly School Model in the 5 identified schools. A comprehensive base line study has been conducted by the TARC and the training of the teachers of the associated schools has been recently completed. A strategic follow-up and mentoring plan has been designed and the TARC team has already started implementing it. This follow-up programme is known as the School Improvement Programme(SIP). The following activities are the part of SIP. |
