ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Mar, 2018 ) :The Ministry of Human Rights (MOHR) has recommended regular training sessions for teachers and community leaders to reduce drop out of children from schools as harsh attitude of teachers has been identified as the key factor behind this this phenomenon.
The high proportion of dropped out children from school needed practical steps to reverse the trend, and conducting regular training sessions 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 proper guidance mechanism for children and their parents regarding importance of education in their lives.
The finding of the first report "Situation Analysis of Out of School Children (OOSC) 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 enrolled. out of which 568 (87%) later dropped out due.
Likewise, "Situation Analysis of Out of School Children in Selected Rural Areas of Islamabad" pointed out that 1261 OOSCs 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. Repeat
