On the Rural Children
OBLF’s school year came to a close at the end of February, and our Year-end Assessments were held from 20th to 25th February, 2017 for each of our over 1000 children.
An analysis of the same shows that 96% of the children (who had at least 60 days’ attendance), improved in their English language skills.
The Assessment results show that 64% children scored over 60% marks at the year-end, as against only 11% at the beginning of the year. Also, children studying in the same schools / grades, but not attending OBLF program, have a very poor performance level – all of them scoring less than 30%.
A detailed school-wise report is attached.
On the Rural Ladies
Our senior Coordinators now conduct Oral Assessments independently. As mentioned in our previous report, these rural ladies are also our target beneficiaries, and therefore it is our aim to make them not just financially, but also intellectually independent.
Therefore, their training, instead of being for a fixed period, is an ongoing, continuous process. Once a week, all our ladies – we call them Coordinators – assemble for training in English, Computers, Tools of pedagogy, soft skills etc. They are also sent out for training to various Corporates or institutions like British Library, or we have guest trainers like Mrs. Usha Kumar, ex-Dean HRD, Mt. Carmel College, come in to train them.
