PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Conducive learning environment is essential to learning and this must be ensured for all children of school age. Needs Assessment: Surveys carried out in various communities of our district revealed that schools lack adequate attention. Needs in our secondary schools include ill-equipped libraries, insufficient and broken desks and chairs, laboratories without materials, collapsed ceiling in classrooms etc.
The project aims at renovation of 8 classrooms in 8 secondary schools and providing some with new tables, desks and chairs for children and teachers as well as new interactive-boards. The chosen secondary schools have a children's population of about 480 and 16 teaching staff. The schools are in an urban area connected to public electric power supply. The project will be carried out in phases until all classrooms are fully equipped.
BENEFICIARIES
The children and teachers of the school are the direct beneficiaries. The school in general, parents and the communities will also benefit from the project.
OUTCOMES
The children will be saved the ordeal of sitting on broken furniture to receive lessons; the children will concentrate better and obtain better results in the tests and examinations. The professors will have a better environment for imparting knowledge. The community will have better equipped schools and parents will have happier and more education responsive children.
