<p>Thanks Guru. Would be good to hear more about points 1
and 2 from Mythili, Ranjani and Manisha. I will count
myself lucky if we are able to persuade the Secy that
schools need to reopen soon and that the Govt of Jharkhand
may benefit from these inputs for the purpose of preparing
a transition plan. Hopefully they are on the job, but I
will be surprised if they have electrifying proposals.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Jean, </p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can see that we all have
different and at times also contrary
suggestions. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yet, can help suggesting a
few - I am sure you would discern and decide: I
think you should ask for some quick decisions
that are also easier to implement followed by
some modified approaches for being more
supportive to children. I have five suggestions:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. I am a votary for a Zero
Year or a Bonus Year for all primary kids,
especially in states like Jharkhand and Bihar.
In the lifetime, one year is nothing but if
pushed to higher grades without knowing nothing,
it would lead to much higher dropouts. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. A curriculum-approach
replanning with support of local (there are some
in Ranchi who understand these well) and some
external people, focusing on key and
supportive concepts - I know that MP is making
some such initiative. Different from bridging in
the sense that it also takes note of already
prevailing learning gaps and also structural
aspects. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Training teachers on this
new approach and also extensively on equity and
learning issues making them able to have a
differential approach and not treating all
children the same. It may also mean individual
testing (as Sajitha is suggesting) to know about
each one of them - but much better to
equip teachers to do that rather than organising
large scale ones. It must include orienting them
on socio-emotional support and the importance of
maintaining links with children/parents during
such breaks.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Preparing
teachers/schools/system for future sudden such
occurrences (third wave?). For instance, many
schools don't have all children's addresses with
landmarks, phone numbers (family or neighbour),
closest literate person's phone number/address.
We found that to be a major constraint that
teachers faced when it came to getting in touch
with students and families. Record collection
may have happened but the school does not have
these in many cases. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">5. Textbooks (plus additional
learning materials) and Meals to be
non-negotiable - the system must assess the
current practices and assure the availability of
these two. </p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Studies from the US show
that it takes several years for students who
are below grade level to "catch up" to grade
level ; one study I saw indicates that only 4
% catch up in two years ! (This is
pre-pandemic). In general, younger children,
and students who are not independent learners
take longer. So this cannot be a one-time
effort, it could take a few years. In other
words, think of what you have to do
consistently for several years (which may , if
done well, actually introduce some much needed
changes in the education system). That is the
first point that I would make. </p>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- children need to be
assessed individually (not just on academic
subjects); sample based assessments and
tests give us an idea of the scale of the
problem, but do not indicate what needs to
be done in each school. These have to be
administered by teachers, but there must be
some quality checks and protocols, and
consistent analysis of data, to help develop
school plans. [ Also, children would also
have learnt new skills and resilience during
this time, and it is important to build on
this]</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- extend the time for
learning (eg weekends, holidays etc). This
obviously has to be negotiated with teachers
or other organizations have to be brought
in.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- mixed age groups /
classes in smaller groups - eg you can teach
literacy skills to some students in classes
1-3 together, if some grade 2-3 students
have lost literacy skills. This becomes
more difficult at higher levels, but
solutions can be found.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- focus on core subjects
initially - language, mathematics; and
socio-emotional</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- tailored training for
teachers to understand and take up new
methods, and regular support provided to
them</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- additional
instructional materials for the above (ie
the textbooks usually cannot be used; but
additional instructional materials are not
difficult to develop and need not take time)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- a clear instructional
plan developed by each school ( schools will
need support for this)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- detailed district or
block level planning and monitoring to
support each school; </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- meaningful and
sensitive communication with parents on a
regular basis.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- more public funding to
support all of above; one can't tackle the
crisis meaningfully with the existing level
of resources</p>

<p>It seems to me that the "bridge",
however designed, will have to extend
to March 2023, not 2022. Because the
"gap", for children who've been left
out all this time, is not just
one-and-a-half years (since lockdown
began); it's one-and-a-half years +
what they forgot of what they had
learnt + whatever gap was already
there before the lockdown began. I
don't see a 3-month bridge course
filling that gap.</p>

<p>Dear Guru and friends,</p>
<p>I am still tied up with the
field survey, but doing my best
to keep up in the between with
all the useful material you are
circulating.</p>
<p>The survey findings are
alarming (no surprise here). In
Latehar district, in 5 SC/ST
hamlets, we found that 75% of
children were unable to read a
single word. Meanwhile, the
schools are falling apart.</p>
<p>I wonder what the "line" is on
automatic promotion. Once again
it seems to suit privileged
children, who are more or less
on track, but it is the kiss of
educational death for other
children. How can children who
were enrolled in Class 1 last
year, and have never been to
school or learnt the alphabet,
be in Class 2 now (Class 3 in a
few months), where they are
given English textbooks (in
Jharkhand)? Is there not a case
for a "bonus year" when all
children are helped to recover
instead of sorting the winners
and losers yet again? Just
curious - I am sure that you
have discussed this.</p>
<p>I am not clear whether <a
href="mailto:research@educationemergency.net"

rel="noreferrer"
moz-do-not-send="true">"research@educationemergency.net"</a>
is a kind of collective address

<pre>Dear Jean</pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre>I am attaching the posters that my colleague made in our Karnataka</pre>
<pre>'Open Schools' campaign</pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre>The campaign included a street protest, media articles, few press</pre>
<pre>releases which were reported in local papers. It may have helped a bit -</pre>
<pre>the Karnataka Govt kept high schools open Jan-March 2021.</pre>
<pre>Through the State SMC Federation, Niranjan and others also organized</pre>
<pre>district level protest meetings on school opening. A PIL was also put up</pre>
<pre>in Karnataka High Court on both opening schools and providing mid day</pre>
<pre>meals. The CJ was sympathetic but did not give a firm directive to open</pre>
<pre>schools. (there is a general middle class fear psychosis)</pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre>For this time, apart from posters, street protests, short videos</pre>
<pre>(children, parents, teachers) in multiple languages, social media</pre>
<pre>campaigns, apart from policy briefs, guidelines/toolkits for school</pre>
<pre>opening will be required. And the idea of the national coalition is to</pre>
<pre>share resources/ideas across groups working in different geographies.</pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre>regards,</pre>
<pre>Guru</pre>
<pre> </pre>
