Girls Community Schools

The Elementary & Secondary Education Foundation establishes Girls Community Schools to serve “out-of-schools” children belonging to families lacking access to educational opportunities. These schools are established in those areas where government is not providing schooling facility. Girls Community Schools are located in a room donated by community members. A teacher from community teaches and Village Education Committee manages the schools activities. They follow the primary school curriculum, and the government provides free textbooks and teaching resources, and pays teachers’ honorarium.
