TRAINING STRATEGY "ENHANCING GIRLS ENROLMENT IN REMOTE AREAS OF PAKISTAN" SECTION I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Preamble
Like many other developing countries, there have always been many evident contradictions and disparities in terms of tall slogans of achieving EFA Goals and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), educational opportunities, availability and provision of resources in Pakistan. These inequalities are most accentuated across urban-rural, male-female and socio-economic divisions. Another major criticism of our education system is the outdated, passive and conservative teaching and management approaches practiced by most public sector teachers and head teachers in classrooms and schools. Such approaches ultimately lead to high drop out and repetition rates. This is exacerbated by low engagement of district education departments, social mobilization, participation and ownership of community in school development activities. Each province has its own geographically disadvantaged areas and economic deprivation, such as the districts in the Southern belt of Punjab with low literacy rates and high incidence of gender based discrimination. These districts are in dire need of intensive support for improved educational opportunities for girls and attainment of quality learning levels.
ITA in collaboration with Oxfam GB has initiated a School Improvement Project titled, “Enhancing Girls Enrolment in Remote Areas of Pakistan” in four southern districts of Punjab. The project includes all the components of whole school improvement program which are integral to create enabling environment in public sector schools. One of the key outputs of the project focuses on the continuous professional development of the teachers, head teachers and capacity building of other stakeholders.
In order to implement the training component of the project, a comprehensive training strategy has been developed by ITA after visits to the field, feedback from the district teams and results of baseline assessment surveys. A series of planning and consultative meetings by ITA’s Oxfam Project Team, in-house trainers, material developers, senior faculty of the Institute for Professional Development (IPD) and the project advisor have contributed towards the conceptual framework of the strategy.
Keeping in view Oxfam’s critical emphasis on Gender Sensitization and Girls Mainstreaming, a conscious effort has been made to incorporate all such elements in the training strategy and resource materials which are essential for the target community to understand, internalize and practically implement in their day to day life. Although students will be the center of all activities and inputs of the project but the strategy concurrently caters to the capacity building needs of the teachers, head teachers, SMC/SC members, district education officials and community based organizations.
Key responsibilities of education promoters in the field include site-based support in the schools and all training sessions are fully backed by periodic follow up sessions which help target groups, refresh and recapitulate their acquired knowledge and skills.

1.2 Project framework The project addresses the fundamental goal of education as an entitlement for girls in particular living in gender disadvantaged communities and districts. To address Access, a safe and conducive learning environment is a priority as is the capacity of teachers and head teachers to ensure that access can be sustained through quality learning. Communities need to be made aware about the critical imperative of girls’ education and their role enhanced for ensuring sustained enrolment, regular attendance and a safe learning environment.
Safe functioning and well equipped schools
Quality learning environment (Physical)
Teachers competencies in place for optimal learning achievement by students
Headteachers as leaders and managers of improvement and change
A caring community mobilized and skilled in effective school governance
District government committed to quality girls education and evidence based planning for sustained access

SECTION III TRAINING COMPONENTS 3.1 Strategy for Subject-Based Training
Rationale:
Several recent studies on learning assessment such as those produced by National Education Assessment System (NEAS) and its provincial counterparts as well as various Training Need Assessments (TNAs) in govt. schools reveal time and again that there is a dire need of enhancing the content knowledge of teachers and also reading or literacy skills of learners. It is observed that most of the teachers need to know their subjects well at the primary level which is the foundation of life long learning. Furthermore, gender biases and gaps can only be bridged if these are highlighted in the curriculum and its delivery through textbooks, classroom and school interactions especially at the primary level. We also aim at integrating the updated pedagogical approaches into the subject based content knowledge so that the teachers feel more confident in extending knowledge, skills and attitudes without any gender discrimination. The primary mode of Cluster Based Training will provide possibilities to the teachers to ensure that they can share their valuable professional experiences with their colleagues as a networking cluster.
Objectives:
Subject based trainings will
Enhance the content knowledge of teachers with upgraded pedagogical skills Enable teachers to use effective methodologies for lesson planning and
curriculum/syllabus division. Equip the teachers for better classroom management, assessment and evaluation.

3.2 Training Strategy on Gender Sensitization in Education
Rationale: According to the latest World Economic Forum’s annual report released on ‘ Global Gender Gap Report 20081, Pakistan is ranked at 127th among the 130 countries in the world. Both the GGGR 2008 and the Global Monitoring Report (GMR) for EFA each year highlights Pakistan as a country afflicted with major gender gaps. This suggests that the targets for gender equality under EFA and MDGs cannot be met due to major gender equality gaps at multiple levels. Gender discrimination is particularly severe in Southern Punjab and indeed in all other provinces. There are very serious and mounting issues of violence against women
1 The Global Gender Gap Report 2008 is based on the innovative new methodology introduced in 2006 and includes detailed profiles that provide insight into the economic, legal and social aspects of the gender gap in each country. The Report measures the size of the gender gap in four critical areas of inequality between men and women: 1) Economic participation and opportunity – outcomes on salaries, participation levels and access to high-skilled employment 2) Educational attainment – outcomes on access to basic and higher-level education 3) Political empowerment – outcomes on representation in decision-making structures
114) Health and survival – outcomes on life expectancy and sex ratio
12
(Honor Killing, Honor rapes, Karo Kari, Vani and Swara.), in the name of custom, tradition and religion often supported by politicians and political representatives. Opportunities for access to facilities and empowerment are very negligible for women and girls in every field. Education is seen as a powerful neutral zone for elevating the status of girls and women to counter the tructural inequalities through capability enhancement. s
In the field of education which plays a vital role in the development of a country, girls are suffering from different problems caused by the issue of gender disparity in different forms like low status of girls and women, inaccessible schools / lack of public transport, unsafe learning environments, social and cultural barriers, gender stereotyping in textbooks, classrooms and playgrounds etc. Due to the above reasons gender disparity continues to grow, resulting in high drop out rates. This needs urgent action by all concerned stakeholders working in a collaborative manner. Under the Dubai Care Oxfam project, ITA is determined to work on sensitizing stake holders on gender parity issues in the target districts embedding it in all components of the project and its training strategy. Through this project, not only local community will be mobilized to increase girls enrollments in schools, they will also be motivated to develop an environment sensitive to gender ensuring parity, equality and equity. A 3-days training will be arranged for teachers to develop their understanding on gender and its concepts of gender parity, equality and equity so that they can influence decision making as “agents of change” at multiple levels.
Objectives:
• To develop an understanding of participants on the concept of gender and indicators
of gender gaps
• To increase awareness among them about gender values and norms in the context of
Pakistani society and the norms of South Punjab
• To deepen their understanding of how society shapes gender roles and
responsibilities
• To identify “Gender Issues in Education” with regards to access & retention in schools
• To extend skills on how gender parity can be established in classrooms and schools
• To develop, agree and implement a set of gender indicators as minimum standards
for schools, classrooms, school planning and school councils .
Content:
• Definition of Gender
• Gender Roles & Responsibilities
• Gender Stereotypes
• Gender Analysis
• Gender in Education – Key indicators, gaps and strategies for action.. Materials Required for Training:
• Training manual on “Gender Parity in Education” with an easy glossary • Analysis of textbooks in use, case studies and development of model lessons plans
of different subjects incorporating the concept of gender parity • White Board • Board Markers • Flip Charts • Multi Media • Handouts • Writing Pads • Stationary • Camera • Evaluation Forms

3.3 Training Strategy on Early Childhood Education: Rationale:
“The early years of life are recognized as a vital stage in children’s physical, linguistic, intellectual and emotional development. ECE refers not only to what is happening within the child, but also to the care that child requires in order to thrive.”
Every child should have the opportunity to grow in a setting that values children and provides conditions for a secure environment, allowing for diversity. Children are both the present & the future of every nation. They must receive appropriate nurture and education within and outside their families from birth onwards if they are to develop optimally.
As a remedial measure, Whole Schools Improvement Program (WSIP) is determined to meet the above challenges by activating the stake holders through cluster based trainings. The training of ECE teachers is one of the effective initiatives of WSIP which specially focuses on catering for the needs of ECE students by enhancing the pedagogical skills of ECE teachers.
Objectives:
To familiarize the participants with the importance of Early Childhood
To make them understand about the influence of Early Childhood on a child as a person
Give the teachers knowledge about “Early Childhood Education”
To make them realize the need & importance of Early Childhood Education
To enable them for effective teaching with better understanding of “National Curriculum for Early Childhood Education 2007”
To enable them to identify the key learning areas and competencies required for “Early Childhood Education”
To equip them with the teaching skills to make their ECE class rooms more interactive & child friendly

3.4 Training Strategy on Citizenship
Rationale Citizenship means relationship between an individual and state. Citizenship is a complex and
multidimensional concept. It consists of legal, cultural, social and political elements and
provides citizens with defined pride, obligation, sense of identity and social bonds.
In our education system, it is not properly focused at primary level. If we look at the
curriculum, it does not strongly emphasize on citizenship education as much as it should be
done considering its importance. Only one portion of social studies talks about citizenship
which is not sufficient. Looking at the issues, our county is currently facing only because of
lack of citizenship. This is the need of time to incorporate the concept of citizenship in our
education system to make our children active citizens. Teachers can play a tremendous role
in developing a sense of citizenship among them by integrating this concept in their lesson
plans. it can help them to develop knowledge and skills for being active citizens of Pakistan This is important to train our teachers for being enabled to perform this task. Effectively Objectives: The main objectives of this training are to:
• Give the participants an understanding of the concept of citizenship • Share with them political systems and their weaknesses and strengths
16
17
• Discuss political systems, its types, the most appropriate political system and its attributes
• Equip them with such skills which can help developing active and responsible citizenship among their students
• Enable them for incorporating the concept of citizenship in teaching through effective lesson planning

3.7 Training Strategy of Educational Leadership & Management Rationale: Educational Leadership and Management are actually about ensuring the enhancement of qualities of good leaders and managers in the participants. Every person is a leader and a manager somehow or the other. Even at the personal level, one can not lead a successful and good life unless one is a good leader and manager. One needs to learn how to lead and how to follow. This ability becomes a pre-requisite for the Head of an institution. Such a person has to administer and manage his or her subordinates, and has to monitor and mentor the whole set up. Therefore, it is very necessary that the head teachers and the officials from the education department are well equipped with the skills such as planning, administration and management. This training will prove to be an effective initiative in this respect.
