Name of Project: Social Empowerment through Quality Education

Beneficiaries: Dropouts and probable dropouts between school Grades 8th to 10th.

Role Model: This Project is devised and being successfully implemented since 15-years byShaheenEducational Institutions in Bidar-Karnataka. They have eradicated the private tuition system in all their institutions. This has persuaded other institutions to follow; the result is the entire Bidar District has become tuition free now

INTRODUCTION ABOUT SCHOOL DROPOUTS:

Dropout of students from the schooling stage of Grades 1st to 12th is rampant throughout India. Distressing fact is that the rate is growing every year. The dropout is more in Government schools and Government aided Schools compared to privately managed ones. The dropout occurs mainly in three stages: 7th to 9th, 10th, and 12th Grades.
Reasons: Main reasons attributed by the community to dropouts are: Financial Scarcity, Social Backwardness, andinaccessibility of Quality Education.

Facts:

In our view the prime reason for dropout is the dearth of quality education.
The school children from Grade 1st to 5th/6th are consciously not in serious study mode, their schooling becomes a routine attendance without outcome.
The children start observing the outside world and its affairs from Grade 6th/7th. They are influenced more by friends, family, neighbors, and media etc.
From Grade 6th/7th onwards educationally weak students would not understand lessons in languages and Mathematicshence, schooling becomes a burden to them. To avoid this trouble, the child seeks friendship and enjoyment outside the school.

RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL:

The dropout is not merely an educational problem; it is a growing menace affecting the whole society. The society is discussing the issue, government and NGOs are providing scholarships and materials to students; all this is not helping to solve the problem. The solution is to diagnose the problem that students are weak in Mathematics and languages. That is the reason they are not able to understand the teaching. We need to address the issue on priority and implement rapid projects of Quality Education through AICU on all India basis. Community’s dedication to country-wide educational improvement is essential.
