Rajouri, Feb 22
Principal District Institute of Education Rajouri and District Coordinator of National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL) Rajouri organized training camps in Thanamandi, Manjakote and Peereh Rajouri education zones in which 200 teachers were given training to bring back girl dropouts to the school.
The programme was attended by Chief Education Officer Rajouri Sardar Gurucharan Singh while Shakti Gupta ZRP, Shazia Dar and Vijay Sharma were the resource persons who imparted training to the teachers.
Speaking on the occasion, Choudhary Fazal Hussain, District Coordinator of NPEGEL Rajouri said that NPEGEL was launched by government of India in July 2003 and is an important component of SSA, which provides additional support for enhancing girl’s education over and above the investments for girl’s education through normal SSA interventions. He said that the programme provides for development of a “model school” in every cluster schools. He added that gender sensitization of teachers, development of gender-sensitive learning materials, and provision of need-based incentives like escorts, stationery, workbooks and uniforms are some of the endeavours under the programme.
Meanwhile Inderjeet Singh said that the scheme is being implemented in educationally backward blocks where the level of rural female literacy is less than the national average and the gender gap is above the national average; in blocks of districts which are not covered under EBBs but are having at least 5% SC/ST population and where SC/ST female literacy is below 10%; and also in select urban slums. He said that they are also organizing similar camps in other parts of the districts
