Child Friendly School
Initiative in
Chittoor
The Child Friendly School Initiative is being implemented in seven
mandals - Madanapalli, Ramasamudram, B. Kothakota, Punganur, Vayalpadu,
Nimmanapally and Kalkiri in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. As a
part of the programme initiation activity, a pre-Base line study was
conducted in 12 schools. The selection of the schools was based on
socio economic indicators to ensure representation to the profile of
the district.
The aim of the study was to obtain a detailed
understanding of the issues related to education, learning and
community involvement in the region. The study was expected to provide:
a. Insights to fine-tune the interventions planned
as a part of the programme.
b. Inputs for designing a detailed Base line survey.
The study involved detailed
personal interviews and focus group discussions with the various stake
holders like head teachers, other teachers, children and parents as
also the village education committee members, Panchayat representatives
and government education department officials at the mandal level. The
interviews were designed to understand the current practices,
perceptions and attitudes about education of the stake holders.
Analysis of the findings from the study and
designing of the Base line survey are in progress.
