Introduction


Child Education

We believe we can branch the children in any career they wish if they have the proper education.
Main aim of teachers is to guide the child in:

  • A developing physical and mental growth.
  • Encourage personal independence.
  • Develop academic and social skills.
  • Teach universal set of values and ethics.
  • Teach and increase moral sensitivity and emphazise on concept of honesty equality understanding and respect for humanity.
  • Help developing the personality of the child by encouraging qualities that they will need for success in their future lives as:
    • self confidence
    • self esteem
    • intellectual curiosity
  • Leadership, creative thinking, and ability to analize and make wise decisions.
The basics

Children for education are selected from the low productivity –
low income families living in the slum areas around Dhaka.

The school programme caters for children aged 4 or 5 and above,
providing education and their basics needs such as:

  • food
  • school uniforms
  • books
  • stationary materials
  • toiletries
  • rain coats
  • shoes and socks

The hours of the school are currently 9 am – 1 pm and will be increased to 3 pm later in the year. The national curriculum for Grades 1 to 5 is followed.

The pre-school programme caters for the younger children from nursery through to kindergarten, again covering all their basic needs such as:

  • washing/grooming
  • clothing
  • food
  • toiletries (including nappies)
  • cribs
  • toys

Hours of the pre-school are 9 am – 5 pm and a structure which includes storytime/reading with pictures, structured and free play, introduction of numbers/letters, songs/rhymes and drawing/colouring is followed.

The staff

At the start of this year, the school saw the introduction of experienced and graduate standard full time teaching staff. With the guidance of a headmasterstyle role and the new teaching staff, the school has been enriched in many ways. With the help of the staff more furniture has been introduced, a small library setup and the children now comply with time and attendance disciplines.

The pre-school is managed by a dedicated, full time member of staff who oversees all activities and is the key teacher. He is supported by a nursery mistress and child minders to ensure that all the children are looked after from the moment they arrive.

The facilities

Both the school and pre-school are housed in centrally located, rented accommodation within a 5 minute walk from each other.

The school was hoping to have two floors of the current building but expansion has stalled with the landlord and financing. At present the children and staff work closely together to achieve great results in a small yet suitably equipped space. Hygiene facilities and disciplines have been introduced and a formal school schedule pioneered, though regrettably at present there is no clean and safe place for break times to be spent outside of the school rooms.

The pre-school has been setup in a single story with a large concreted play area safely walled and gated from the outside world. The place is equipped with toys for free play (from badminton, bouncy balls, tricycles through to tents to make play homes), early learning support tools and cribs for the youngest members to catch-up on some sleep.
