Data are synthesized and used to develop community profiles to assist in the monitoring and evaluation process. These plans aim at improving the quality of education at the local level. The IEC campaign fosters community support and participation in the achievement of the 'best practice' sub-objectives. Dramas are developed and performed by community members. Picture-cards initiate local discussions about schooling issues on an ongoing basis.
Communities view recorded drama performances on video.
Following the video drama, community groups discuss how issues raised relate to education in the community. Newspaper articles, radio forums, interviews, panel discussions, and talk-backs strengthen communities' awareness of key education issues. CSA also plans to use video dramas as a basis for TV and radio programs in the future. Capacity-building workshops target SMC and PTA executives. Participants learn about participatory planning methods, basic financial management, effective execution of meetings, effective community-school relations, etc.
