Addressing the representatives present in this workshop, State Education Project Director Aditya Ranjan said that along with the School Education and Literacy Department, voluntary supporting organizations also have an important contribution in ensuring a better education system. Institutions should cooperate in making the educational quality of schools excellent and connecting children to the mainstream of education.
He directed to achieve the target of at least 10 schools every month while achieving the goals of 100% enrollment, 100% transition and zero dropout in the schools supported by the institutions. He said that the representatives should also monitor the school score card of the schools they visit. He said that everyone's role in the voluntary supporting organizations is unique and every institution is performing excellently in some field or the other.
He directed the State Program Officer and State Program personnel to provide three days of special training to the representatives of the selected voluntary supporting organizations in the first week of October, so that they can complete the tasks with ease and efficiency. The representatives of these organizations will be responsible for the successful implementation of the said projects in 900 schools of the state.
Children will get special training under Setu Guide program
Like the previous year, this year too a special training program 'Setu Guide' will be organized for selected out of school children. Detailed guidelines regarding the implementation of the Setu Guide program have been sent to all the district education officers and district education superintendents. Setu Guide centers will be established under this program. In these centers, volunteers will be selected through the school management committees of the schools affiliated to the Setu Guide centers and the voluntary organizations identified by the state office to work voluntarily.
Under the program, first of all, out of school children will be enrolled in the nearest government school. Out of school children will be determined on the basis of Shishu Panji survey. Setu Guide Centers will be established in the schools in whose catchment area there are out of school children and these centers will be tagged with the concerned school. If there are five or less out of school or dropout children in the catchment area of a school, then a special training class will be conducted for them by a teacher of the same school every day in the last bell or PT period.
