Active involvement of parents in
Children’s education implies
- School drop-out rate resulting from long absenteeism is near zero
- Children do not remain out-of-school or are never enrolled due to parents attitude being casual or disinterested towards education
The parents of children who were
Irregular/ Consistently Absent from schools were identified as the first target
group for the Project.
In February, PPCE team worked
with 15 PMC schools (in the areas of Kondhwa and Mohammedwadi) and identified
the list of children enrolled during the academic year 2013-13 in Class I and
II and their attendance status (Regular/Irregular/Consistently Absent). The
team then tracked the children, identified reasons for their absence, worked
out solutions and persuaded their parents to send the children back to school. Overall 7% of the absentees (or 1% of
enrolled students) came back to school.
The team’s experiences in working
out solutions, persuading the parents of absentees and sending the children
back to school will be shared in the next couple of blogs.
