Intervention program for “Reaching O’ level targets"

ESQID carried out an intervention program for “Reaching O’ level targets” at Ha. Huvarafushi and Dhihdhoo on the 31st of July and 2nd of August 2010. Senior management members, teachers, parents, students of grade 10-12, school board and PTA members participated in the program.
The goals of this intervention program were to
 Increase the pass percentage of students sitting in 5 subjects or more (A-C) in the GCE/SSC exams from 32% in 2009 to 40% in 2010.
 To reduce the percentage of ‘U’s in the GCE O levels/IGCSE/SSC by 5% in 2010.
 To increase the pass percentage of students sitting in 5 subjects or more (A-C) in the GCE O levels/IGCSE/SSC exams to 60% or more by 2013
The main objective of the meetings held in the two islands was to include all the stakeholders to develop a plan that would raise the results of O’ level exams.
In the meetings the current status of the schools, issues, the interventions taken so far were discussed. All the stakeholders made future plans to raise the standard.

• Idea is superb but let's find a way to achieve our goal as fast as possible.

Welcome

Welcome to the educational blog for single session schools. We hope to provide you with the help and support that you may need in implementing this huge new initiative. A more open and interactive channel of communication is indeed needed. We hope that this blog will enable us to communicate with you more closely and support you in this new venture.

We hope to provide you with links to support materials, published locally as well as free links to open sources. Moreover, we hope to focus on different areas of schooling in different months; ranging from quality classroom teaching, professional development to assessment and evaluation aspects.

Hope we will all benefit from this.



thank you
