</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The education support
working group meeting that was scheduled for today has been <b>postponed
to next Tuesday </b>as we are yet to receive the
documentation of all the different projects as per the template.
<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">We understand and are
cognizant of your busy schedules but would appreciate if you
could take some time out to fill the template and share it as
soon as possible. We hope to compile these experiences and
release the compilation which would help and encourage groups
across the country who are working on similar programs. You
could reach out to us if you need any kind of support.<br>

<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText">Dear friends <span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText">Thank you for your participation
in the working group
meeting on August 3, 2021. It was a wonderful experience to
listen to the many
interventions, ideas and insights.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText"><span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText">Based on the various inputs
shared in the two meetings,
we have compiled below a set of action items/ next steps
that this group can
work on. Request all of you to review
and share your comments / suggestions as well as indicate
which of the areas
each one of you would be able to take up/ work on.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText"><span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText">The starting point would be to
document as many
interventions as possible - request all of you to send the
documentation by
this weekend (the template is attached with this email -
this is a suggested template
and please feel free to modify it as appropriate). Thank
you to those who have already shared
their interventions.</p>

</p>

<ol>
<li>Continue the documentation of initiatives undertaken
by different organizations which can then be collated into
a broad 'model' or
'guidelines' document (request the filled templates to be
sent by end of this
week) - a template is attached.</li>
<li>Deconstruct the challenges of the current scenario and
the impact it has on children of different ages and
examine it along the dimensions of
curriculum, pedagogies, teacher preparation and community
involvement. Creating a policy brief from the insights of
this analysis would become an use useful input for the
education system.</li>
<li>Curating a resource for parents and caregivers for
supporting them in engaging with children and support
their learning</li>
<li>Develop/ curate resources that can help teachers in
developing flexible teaching - learning strategies. The
emphasis should be on integrating
children's experiences into the teaching-learning process;
identify what
children have learnt outside school and build on that
rather than merely
focusing on the "syllabus".
Addressing the socio-emotional needs for children needs to
be also
looked into. </li>
<li>Identifying and
showcasing a few models where locally relevant and
responsive learning
environments have been created with support from the
community, school
teachers, civil society organizations, citizen networks,
and come up with a set
of alternatives for the education system to consider when
reopening schools (could
be in the form of a toolkit)</li>
<li>Reach out to teacher education institutions and
creating a network of student teachers who would be able
to work with children
in their communities in a structured manner</li>
<li>Form a network
of govt. and private school teachers, local authorities
and teacher education
institutes to reach out better to the community</li>
<li>Create advocacy forums for parent/teacher communities;
share 'position statements' on the different dimensions
and challenges; also
serve as a platform for putting out scientifically
accurate information.</li>
</ol>
