CARE Foundation has expanded its network of adopted schools to
include 6 government schools in Karachi. CARE‟s survey team found
the schools in the heart of the biggest metropolis of Pakistan in
deplorable conditions, requiring immediate attention.
Subsequently the schools have been adopted, with the generous
help of CARE‟s supporters, and work continues for building
infrastructure, training teachers and providing all educational
facilities to the schools to improve the quality of education and re-
verse the drop out rates. CARE has adopted 4 schools in Munzoor
Colony, while 2 schools have been adopted in Akhtar Colony.
With constant efforts by the CARE team and support of the friends
of CARE, the schools will soon attain academic excellence.

Parents, Teachers discuss students’
performance
Parent-Teacher meetings were held at all CARE schools to gauge
the progress of each student. The parents discussed their child's
individual progress with their teachers in one-on-one sessions.
The meetings turned out to be valuable for both
parents and teachers, as they got the chance to share ideas,
suggestions and problems. The parents were impressed by the
efforts made by the schools and expressed their satisfaction. In
their remarks, they particularly appreciated the opportunity to
discuss their child‟s problems and progress reports with teachers
individually rather than in groups.

CARE Foundation, in collaboration with CISCO, has launched WebEx
to conduct teacher trainings and management meetings via
web-conferencing. In this regard, several CARE teachers have been
trained on the use of WebEx. Apart from hosting online teacher
training, the web-conferencing facility would also enable online ed-
ucation for students in the future.
As the CARE network spreads far and wide across the country,
WebEx will enhance the efficiency of the organization as the man-
agement meetings would be conducted on the said platform.
WebEx allows streaming live webcam video in every meeting or
session. All members of a meeting can collaborate in real time and
share their desktop documents, while using whiteboarding,
note-taking and annotation tools to mark up documents as they
share.
Therefore, the launch of WebEx would prove to be a step ahead in
providing quality training to the teachers and increasing efficiency
of the organization.
