Education is the key element to national human resource development providing quality education to masses has been a challenge due to growing population and lake of quality resources in education. Lake of proper infrastructure, quality teaching staff and limited access to schools,especially for girls, are just few of the issues that plague the education system in India countering these issues is a long -term process which the Waco intends to stand by.
Reference :companies act 2013,Schedule vii (II) promoting education, including special education and employment enhancing vocation skills especially among children, women, elderly, and the differently abled and livelihood enhancement project's.
Waco has partnered with world human organization (who) to further the common goal of providing quality education to slum children. Whps has been implemented in the slum Ahmadabad to support the education of 2085 slum children from std LKG to 3 grade and to provide employment to 95 to 105 women under this program.
The Whps model has the potential to make a significant impact on education policy, as well as other schools for improving education quality therein. With the help of this project 2085 out-of of school /slum children would receive high quality primary school education. and would attain learning attainments comparable to India's best CBSE schools, which shall be verified by an independent expert testing organization (educational initiative (EI).
To enhance enrolment, retention, attendance and simultaneously improve the nutrition levels among the children studying in govt. And govt. Aided schools in India Waco is supporting the "med-day meal program for school children "by helping samadhan foundation to procure 950 insulated meals distribution vessels to be used for distributing hot tasty mid-day to schools.
In rural India, girl child (beti) is being deprived of many things and one of the most important thing she is missing out on is Education. There are multiple factors responsible for this harsh truth of the beti not being sent to schools in rural India. On of them is that where the government schools are far off, the parents are apprehensive about sending their young beti to far located schools as it might subject the beti to safety and security related danger. Apart from this, there is a socio-cultural aspect in play also, which result in the male child in the house to get preferential favor for receiving the best of opportunities and facilities that the family can offer to their children.
This brings us to the harsh truth that the beti in most cases have to do the household work, take care of younger siblings, feed the cattle while the parents are in the field and hence the beti is deprived of education in many cases.
To address this issue, Waco has started 102 Beti shiksha Kendra (bsk) in association with reliance rural development society an NGO Started by alumni of 1999 batch of iit kharagpur. These beti shiksha Kendra aimed at imparting basic education( up to class 5th) to girl children in remote rural areas where there are no formal schools. Bsk is a tiny school in itself setup in the vicinity of the community and the school is run by the teacher recruited from the respective village itself. Looking at the Girl child 's progress some of the mothers have also developed an interest in resuming or starting their own education. These bsks are opened in remote rural location of Uttrakhand , Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal, Assam, Meghalya.
WACO started 20 "dizital Class "in world heritage Kid zee schools in Darjeeling dist of west bengal state, to provide dizital technology to rural poor children studying in whks.the dizital Class consists of a projector, which doubles up as a computer provides A/V Converted curriculum.
Complex theories and concepts become easy to understand via video content. Dizital Class room will help and enable the students to learn better.
The majority section of population in India is deprived of quality educational facilities due to unavailability of good teachers and schools. The quality of educational facilities in govt school is also poor. Hence, we feel that it is must for organization like world human organization (who) to run own schools that stand out as an alternative to what is happening in the government schools and can support the mainstream system too by replicating it's learning and knowledge. Who enjoys good credibility among past sponcers and has been acknowledged by government for their work.
World human organization whs project is in alignment with the Waco focus area of providing and promoting education to underprivileged section of the society in rural India. Through this project Waco can reach to the last mile beneficiary and address one major problem of quality education in remote areas and a rural underprivileged section of the society. Waco has supported for 2 schools to run by world human organization under the name world heritage school for children studying in grade 1 to 10th the proposed school are located in Nagtalai and Gokulpuri slum area of Jaipur Rajasthan.
Waco identified two broad issues which have a strong bearing on the marginalized communities and their livelihood patterns:
The potential of the existing resources is not fully tapped due to lack of inputs and skills leaving a weak livelihood base, underemployment and unemployment.
There is no proper mentoring support to school dropouts and youth to transform them into responsible citizens with needed attitude and skills.
The contextual realities motivated us to partner with world heritage university.
And adopt human capital reinforcement effective and market-oriented skill development and facilitating the linkages for sustainability, as prime strategies mitigate the livelihood crisis in rural areas of Odisha.
