RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT:

• The over all literacy rate of Pakistan is 58%, with only 23% female literates. In rural areas the literacy ratio of men to women is 70% to 20% respectively. In terms of figures, it simply means there are 57 million illiterates in Pakistan, most of them are female.
• Pakistan is among those countries, who has not achieved MDGs and EFA well in time (2015) and seems far from achieving SDGs by 2030 with the current pace in development.
• Every year approximately 1.6 million individuals are added to the pool of illiterates in Pakistan in which 80% are females.
• The proposed project will contribute in ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education at grass roots level in urban and rural Pakistan by awareness of mass community, advocacy towards female education and creation of pool of girls youth assembly across the country
• FEHRO is a female human rights organization working in the field of females rights since 1998, based at Swat while during talibanization and militancy era the organization shifted its set up to Islamabad, in order to easily work for women.

In view of the above rationale and the fact that Education is crucial for Human and Economic Development of any nation imperative that such project are undertaken to create social tolerance and harmony.

THE PROJECT GOAL:

Contribute to SDG goal 4 - achieving a 100 per cent enrollment and 90 % literacy rate with quality education by 2030. It aims at addressing the gender equity issue with regards to literacy and improving retention and acquisition of academic skills of students in education. Studies have shown that one of the major causes of low learning in students, and consequently high dropouts, at primary education, is lack of support to the students at home, due to non-availability of literate care givers /mothers at homes, conservative society, unaware parents and cultural constraints. The let girls learn program targets these very care givers of the enrolled students attempting to make them educate to supervise the children in their academic assignments at home and in school. The proposed program intends to provide access to education to girls across the country.

 HELP DESK:

LGL has a number of girl’s students, facing a large number of questions, issues difficulties and problems in a book. In order to reduce the drawbacks and fill the gaps on the part of girl’s education the solution has been to create the help desk staffed by technically savvy consultant knowledge in the various features used in the education program, with the ability to:

·         Troubleshoot the problems

·         To answer frequently asked question and most importantly

·         Refer difficult questions for reference and research needs. This triage style of assisting user has proved to be useful in that it enables the program more qualitative.

·         Establish assessment tools and formats particularly on TNA of learners, teachers and SOs, which further demonstrates   the need for changing the training context and provision of support.
