What isChild friendliness

andinclusiveness?

It is more about attitudes ofthe adults

towards children



Often the school ignores thateach child is an individual…

Children,move toyourplacesnow.

Child-friendliness and inclusiveness– its attitudinal dimension

Very oftenwe wantchildren tosit in aregimentedway andlisten to

themonologuesof ateacher

Child-friendliness andinclusiveness– its attitudinal dimension

But children do not learnonly like this!

Let us look at Child-friendliness and inclusiveness– its physical dimension

Children learn in large groups

Inclusion createsmutual respect,understanding ofdivergent viewsand tolerance

amongst thechildren

Children learn in small peer groups Children contemplate while alone…



So why don’t we give themvariety of learning situations

in our school environments?

Children actually learnall the time.

We can give them variety

And yet not be child friendly!!

What is child friendly ?

To come to the scale of a child2

It is not socomplicated

to bechildfriendly.

We,the planners,

just need tocoordinateproperly.

Just

make various provisions

accessible, usable

and simple

to be used by ALL children.



Child friendly display and storageWhy can’t our hardware be child-friendly?

More on child friendliness…

The amenities…

When no two children are of sameheight, why the taps need to be at

the same height?

Education Planners and School Community Community articulating aspirations through building models

Participation of community members at planning stage Understanding technical aspects in an interactive way

Demystify technology and demonstrate holistic planning

Involving stakeholders through interactive models


Let the community understand basic principles of planning through simpledismantlable models for them to realise the significance of holistic planning.

• Map the existing school : School Mapping



– Existing Catchment, student teacher strength

– Existing classes (strength, gender-wise data,CWSN, etc.)

– Audit of existing facilities from child friendliness andinclusiveness

– Linkage with other facilities

– Assessment of existing facilities for their adequacy in

addressing SSA goals – Condition of existing facilities



• Map the future : Ascertaining future growth prospects



– Growth in 6-14 year age-group population in lastcensus

– General trend of population growth in area

• Mapping school facilities and their condition against

norms

– Ascertaining application of SSA norm for Upper primary /primary based on 1:2 criteria

– Ascertaining if the school will be ‘Hub’ or ‘Feeder’school?

• Share all above data in simple form with stakeholders



• Identify what improvement do present facilities need

for

– Better utilization of existing resource – Added features to cater to present requirements.

Expanded from

‘with-in’ andmodified for multigrade

teaching-

learning

Twonarrow

classrooms

Creating alternative teaching-learning spacesother than the ‘class-room’ at very low cost

in existing schools

A school expanded under relief scheme with one added room inan unplanned way.

Joining the disjointed rooms witha meaningful space in betweenfor learning.

A school lying on thenatural site drainage.

Providing a plinth protectionand expanding it to create alearning space.

Multiple utility of repair and maintenance exercise

Plan for improvement in present school


Extending Life

Retrofitting for disasters

Extending theusable life of theexisting building

Retrofitting the building and itsenvironment to take care of disasters likeearthquake, cyclone, floods, fire, etc.




Ensuring proper light and ventilation for allIt helps all and low vision, low hearing children as well.

• Splayed jambs of openings

Plan for future needs

Use repair and maintenance exercise as an opportunity to also holisticallyplan the school spaces for better utility – for present and future needs.


Today: 2009

Near future : 2011Distant future :2015





Conserve Resources

Utilize, to the maximum extent, the existing

resource rather than buy all new for future work


Plan policies to do this for school buildings, MDMs,

toilets also.





Plan for future needs, today

Make the School vision document

• Synthesis and Integration of present and future

needs to form a holistic vision of school



– Integration to be collective process with stakeholders

– Ownership of school vision with its immediate stakeholders

– Make drawings and proper documentation of existing and

future plan, with explanatory notes for decisions taken – Preparation of comprehensive School Vision Document with

all above

• The vision document contains whole school

master development plan.

• It must remain with school authorities. Display it.

• SSA functionaries as lead catalyst in the process

• Define approach for new and existing schools


The way forward

– Identify stakeholders – make children essential stakeholders

– Map existing school data & facilities with assessment of its condition

– Map future growth prospects

– Compare above with norms

– Share above data with stakeholders

– Plan for improvement in present school and future needs

• Synthesize and integrate to make School Vision

document with stakeholders. Ensure its ownership

• Devise a system that these become key referral

document for any development activity in school
