JOB PROFILE
In education the organisation has evolved the Solar Digital Community programmen – non-formal schools to give futuristic primary level education to the children of age between 6 to 14 years (majorly girls). These schools are primarily situated in locations which are off-grid or with intermittent electricity supply and use digital tools and technologies to deliver education effectively. The vision is to encourage critical thinking, voice and social action led by children. Given the pandemic, the model has had to be significantly evolved to become pandemic resilient, including parents and addressing key health issues of the community.
As a Project manager, you will be required to manage the end-to-end implementation and expansion of the Digital Community Schools (DCS) model, design and pilot unique initiatives such as the Parents in Education (PiE) model and community health champions model.
The Parents in Education model was identified as a severe need considering the situation created by the pandemic to engage parents of the Digital Community Schools community to enhance the learning outcomes. Additionally to address the need of health and wellness in the communities , the initiative also envisions involvement of grassroots education teachers in raising awareness and working towards mobilizing the communities to improve health seeking behavior.
The immediate focus will be 11 selected rural communities identified by BCI but the scope shall increase over time.
