Update: Government Girls Lower Secondary School
One year ago, Nazeer Foundation adopted the Government Girls Lower Secondary School through the Sindh Province Adopt-a-School Program.
In February 2009, the school had an enrollment of 29 girls in grades 6-8. In April 2009, Nazeer Foundation took the necessary steps to add grade 9 at the school as well.
The enrollment as of February 2010 is 72 girls, more than twice the number from one year ago. Nazeer Foundation has also hired three additional teachers for this school.
Plans are underway to add grade 10 by the end of 2010.
Kathore Update: English Classes
Nazeer Foundation arranges for a teacher from Karachi to visit Kathore once a week to teach female students the basics of English grammar and speaking skills.
This session is open for students of all classes, mainly comprised of grades 9 through 12.
The classes have been in progress since 2007. As a result, many girls from the Kathore area have now been able to perform better on their national board exams which require them to read and write in English.
The girls have also learned how to become better communicators. Most importantly, they can gain and have a better understanding of the world around them simply because they are finally grasping and understanding the overwhelming international language of communication, English.
Girls School and Boys School add summer program
Nazeer Foundation has implemented a summer school program at the Government Girls Lower Secondary School and the Kamal Khan Jokhio Higher Government Secondary School (KKJG).
The summer classes meet twice per week for girls grades 6-9 and boys grades 6-10.
The summer program began in June and will run until end of July. In addition to regular class instruction, students participate in athletic games such as cricket, badminton and soccer.
Update: Government Girls Lower Secondary School
Nazeer Foundation has completed the necessary steps to add grade 9 to the Government Girls Lower Secondary School.
Nazeer Foundation adopted this school through the Sindh Province Adopt-a-School Program. The school now offers area girls enrollment in grades 6-9.
Teachers and administrators are undertaking a special effort to encourage enrollment from local neighborhoods.
Government Girls Lower Secondary School adopted
Nazeer Foundation is proud to announce that it has adopted the Government Girls Lower Secondary School.
The school has been adopted as part of Sindh Province’s Adopt-a-School Program. As part of the program, the school remains a Sindh government school; however, Nazeer Foundation has been granted the privilege to administer it.
Currently there are 29 girls from the area registered in grades 6-8.
Nazeer Foundation goals are to improve the standards and efficiency of the school, and to increase enrollment.
Computer classes at KKJG Higher Secondary School
Nazeer Foundation has introduced computer training classes as part of the curriculum for the KKJG Higher Secondary School for classes 6-10. The classes are held four times a week. In addition to the classes, a computer expert from Karachi visits Kathore twice a week to teach boys and girls higher concepts beyond grade 10.
Prior to the start of these classes, many students had never used or even touched computers before. Now they can proudly claim knowledge of basic software and hardware, and learn the basic usage of office productivity programs such as word processing and spreadsheets.
Nazeer Foundation is hopeful that these skills will undoubtedly provide considerable professional opportunities to the students.
