  Teach For All

  Dec 2017 - Aug 2018

  Global Girls' Education Fellow

  The Global Girls’ Education Fellowship helps educators across the Teach For All network to develop the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to hold all students — girls and boys alike — to high expectations and to support them in realizing their full potential. Project Brief:Teach For India Fellow, Deepak, became concerned about the disproportionate number of girl students not enrolled in rural schools. While the education of parents played some role in this disparity, with less educated parents less likely to send or keep their girl children in school, it was an issue that persisted among educated villagers and even local school teachers who prioritized funding the education of their sons at the expense of the daughters. The project he designed as a result was aimed to better understand and encourage positive community attitudes towards girls’ education. Deepak conducted door-to-door surveys in 498 households, across 69 villages, in rural Tamil Nadu to better understand local attitudes on the education landscape and the factors that shaped those attitudes. Upon learning that the cost of school fees prevents many girls from enrolling and staying in school, Deepak advocated local rural schools to launch fee-waiver and scholarship schemes for girls from financially unstable families. Deepak ultimately wants to see increased enrollment of girls in rural English medium schools. He wants to use his project to raise awareness and expectations around girls’ education among parents for their daughters, among boys who will grow into future men and fathers in society, and among girls themselves. He is encouraged by a few examples already of boys in his classroom reaching out to family members to encourage them to send girls to school. He has also shared his findings with a local non-profit working in rural education. Show less
