FREE EDUCATION CENTRE
- FREE EDUCATION CENTRE :-
- Cry Child Foundation recognizes that education gives a new lease of life to empower individuals to make informed choices and opens new possibilities and opportunities for themselves. Everything that Cry Child Foundation does is focused on turning our beliefs into a tangible reality.
- Cry Child Foundation has a very comprehensive education program that focuses on the developmental age of children and on the socio-economic milieu under which they exist. The philosophy of our organization is based on the belief that each child deserves an equal opportunity for holistic development. By making the child educated, we not only aim to bring positive changes in the lives of his/her immediate family, but also to the larger society.
- For us, each child is special. Each person involved in community mobilisation for our projects is asked to select a child for enrolment with a very valid reason, which has to be discussed with the team before finalisation. This is to ensure that the most needy children are addressed by us. Each of our students have a story behind them.
- Our Learning Centres (LCs) seek to ensure quality education, higher retention in the primary school, and reduction in school dropout rates. The prime objective is to attain universal elementary education in the project area. The program is envisaged to provide the children with basic education with a focus on retention of learning and developing a positive attitude towards education.
- To this effect the monitoring of the projects needs to be strong. Constant course correction may be necessary. To ensure this, Cry Child Foundation has developed an in house MIS that is used to track teachers attendance, students attendance and progress, family and demographic data of the students etc. This system also red flags the program management team in case there is need to pay attention to any issue and also provides transparency to the donors.
- There is also a Standard Operating Procedure in place for all our programs that has to be followed by the team. To ensure the best quality in all our programs each center is periodically evaluated for maintenance and adherence to the SOP.
- Our Learning Centres offer education to children within the age groups of 6-14 years. Its focus is on the overall development of the child’s attitudes, values and behavioral patterns. The program aims at inculcating and stimulating every child’s endeavour towards taking care of his/her environment. Due to variety of social, cultural, economic and linguistic differences, there is a fair amount of flexibility in the teaching methodologies. The children are constantly encouraged and stimulated to grow at their own pace depending on their living environment.
