COVID19 Activities updates: Community Based Schooling 2 Dec 2020
Community Based Educational Bubbles Conducting virtual teaching was difficult due to inaccessibility to TV, Cell Phones during parents working hours or IT connections via Computers. Parents had to be relied upon to ensure children s continuing education. To overcome the these difficulties, teachers of two schools (Urban: Shamsunnahar Ahsan Kalyani Inclusive School, Mirpur, Dhaka; Rural: Karimganj Kalyani Inclusive School, Kishoreganj) mapped out children s homes. Groups of 4-7 children living close by, whom we called Community Based Educational Bubbles , deemed to be safe , were provided direct education by visiting teachers; following all government directives on prevention (eg, hand washing, masks, monitoring fever).
Over 150 children rural children and 150 urban children were provided this assistance. Both schools were able to cover almost 100% of the syllabus, by early November, 2020. The program was terminated following government directives in early Nov, 2020. Enrolment tables and photographs of the educational bubbles are given below.
