| description |
BRAC began piloting its pre-primary school program with 40 schools in 1997. The
number of ongoing pre-primary schools stands at 950 at present. Another 484 schools have
already been closed. The present study is based on these pre-primary schools focusing on
different stakeholders' perceptions ont the schools. The study was conducted in four
schools from two BEP (BRAC Education Progranune) regions of Jarnalpur and Rangpur.
Data were collected from parents, teachers. committee members, community people,
BRAC staff. and learners. Data collection was done by focused group discussions,
informal discussions, classroom observations, semi-structured interviews and a mini achievement
test using checklists and a test instrument. Title findings revealed that almost
all the respondents expressed a positive view· on the preprimary education. There were no
significant differences between the behaviour and the performance of ex-preprimary
learners and those of formal primary learners. About 50% of the learners were found to be
admitted into the formal schools after completing the preprimary education. However,
around half of them could not continue their schooling regularly or dropped out of the
formal schools after a few months. The study suggests that the preprimary school should
be established within the catchment area of formal primary schools and provisions should
be made for a follow up by BRAC staff regarding preprimary learners' admission into the
formal primary schools. The study also suggests that teachers' salary should be increased
where a further study would provide more in-depth information on the programme. |
