The Need
The prolonged conflict for nearly 30 years in Kashmir has impacted the lives of millions of children. J&K is consistently one of the worst performing states in student learning outcomes. Pratham’s ASER 2018 findings reveal 94% class 3 students cannot read level 2 text while 45.2% cannot do subtraction, 75% class 5th students cannot read level 2 text and 86% cannot do division. Unfortunately, there remains a significant gap in achievement of learning outcomes between the privileged and the not so privileged.
Our Response
Our Quality Education program strives to bridge this gap through interventions that integrate the teacher, parent and the community and that use technology where appropriate. We work with low-resource government schools in collaboration with DOSE (Department of School Education) to transform schools and assist in the holistic development of children. This is accomplished through initiatives such as remedial education, community mobilization, capacity building of teachers, technology enabled learning and building modern infrastructure in schools.

School Transformation
The aim is to uplift low-resourced schools (government and/or private) through meaningful stakeholder engagements to provide quality education to children and improve the overall school ecosystem. The fellowship focuses on school system restructuring so that schools become process-driven child-friendly spaces. This shall be achieved by following CHINAR’s school transformation programs which include conducting a comprehensive 360-degree review of the school to identify gaps and opportunities for school improvement. The overall goal is to transform the school and make it self-sustainable after a period of 4 years.

FAQ’s
What is the beneficiary selection criteria?
We use well-defined selection criteria to identify communities who are suffering from poverty and who are vulnerable to internal and external factors that could affect the quality of their lives and education of their children. The socioeconomic condition of the community is one of the primary reasons for selecting the school (type of livelihood, lower literacy rates, higher percentage of dropouts, girl education). The school should be accessible to all the stakeholders (at district level) and should have all-weather road connectivity to ensure monitoring and evaluation of the project.
