In order to streamline the teaching and learning process, our teachers and trainers worked together to bring out a syllabus suited to the needs of the pavement child, both for the pre-school and NFE level. The syllabus also prescribe a lesson plan. Monthly reports of teachers are evaluated on that basis. Together with those two syllabi, REAP has also produced two booklets, one on songs and the other a hand-book for adult literacy on topics of general interest and concretization. Training This is the heart of our literacy programme.
Every zone meets once in two months.
This year 28 training sessions were held for pre-school teachers alone. The Government prepared kits are used together with our hand book on concretization. This year four training workshops have been held for women in aggarbatti, detergents, 'gajra' making etc. 24 boys have successfully been trained in driving and 7 as security guards. The above training was done through Project Mainstream.
