Selection of Children
Eligibility criteria for enrolment:
At the primary level the emphasis is on the slightly older girls, who are out of school and were unable to complete primary schools (10+). However, in difficult areas (migratory populations, scattered habitations that do not qualify for primary /upper primary schools) younger girls can be targeted. At the upper primary level, emphasis is to enroll girls, especially adolescent girls who are unable to go to regular schools. The main thrust of the scheme is to provide access to disadvantaged sections of girls in EBBs, who have remained outside the educational system despite interventions of other government programmes, due to persistent socio economic, cultural and topographical reasons.
Reservation policy:
In view of the targeted nature of the scheme, 75% of the enrolment would be for girls from SC, ST, OBC or minority communities, in such residential schools and only thereafter, 25% girls from families below the poverty line are admitted. Priority given to girls with special needs. Girls from Access-less habitations (non-availability of primary schooling facility within 1 km distance), and girls from villages where upper primary schooling facility is not available within 3 km distance.
Admission process:
Admission starts before beginning of the new academic session. Admission considered based on availability of seats. In case of number of girls found more than the capacity in KGBV the list of priority prepared and the second list covers as soon as seat available in KGBV.
Deciding the appropriate class:
Immediately after admission of girls in KGBV motivational activities conducts in small groups to assess learning levels of girls to place them in the appropriate grades. Depending upon the competencies of the girls, they are enrolled in different classes. The girls, who require individual attention to reach up to the level of VI the standard, are given bridging programmes.
Strategies for identification of Target Group of girls:
List of out of school/ dropout girls is prepared for the block. Meeting of School managing Committee organized and campaigning at village level conduct to motivate parents and create awareness within the community for promoting girls education; Door to door campaigns are held to contact parents of target group. Motivation camps are organized to convince the parents and family to bring girls to residential schools for continuing their education.
