ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Mar, 2018 ) :Harsh attitude of teachers is the key factor behind the high proportion of dropped out children from school which needed practical steps to reverse the trend.
Conducting regular training sessions for teachers and community leaders' would be beneficial to get fruitful results, two reports issued by Ministry of Human Rights (MOHR) recommended. The two separate reports titled, `Situation Analysis of Out of School Children' one on `Kachi Abadies of Islamabad` while the second on `selected Rural Areas` of Islamabad further proposed that proper guidance mechanism for children and their parents regarding importance of education in their lives would also be focused to increase literacy rate.
The finding of the first report "Situation Analysis of Out of School Children in Kachi Abadies of Islamabad which surveyed around 1500 households found that 1022 households have children aged between 5-16 years with the total figure of 2174 children.
Among these children 1524 (70.1%) were never enrolled in school while 650 (29.9%) were ever been enrolled among which 568 (87%) later dropped out due to certain reasons. Likewise, "Situation Analysis of Out of School Children in Selected Rural Areas of Islamabad" pointed out that 1261 OOSC children were identified from the 732 households of selected rural areas.
The sample children included Humak from 314, Sohan from 380, Noon from 373 and Alipur Farash from 194 among which 1079 (85.6%) never enrolled in school while 182 children (14.4%) dropped out and currently 1261 are still Out Of School (OOS).
The study indicated that most of the boys were out-of-school in Humak, Noon and Sohan whereas the majority of girls were OOS in Alipur Farash and adjacent areas. Most of the children were OOS due to meager financial resources of the family, migration, lack of job opportunities, disability of child, parental negligence or lack of awareness about education rights and facilities.
Lastly, it was proposed that committee comprising Ministry of Human Rights, social Welfare Department of Capital Administration and Development Division, Director National Child Protection Center, representatives of National Commission on Human Development and Federal Directorate of Education etc.
may be constituted to develop and implement an action plan to mainstream the out-of-school children.
