ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF FAMILY, SCHOOL, MOSQUE &
COMMUNITY IN POPULATION EDUCATION
Family & Community
 Parent, family, and community involvement means
different things to different people. When schools,
parents, families, and communities work together to
support learning, students tend to earn higher grades,
attend school more regularly, stay in school longer, and
enroll in higher level programs.
 Researchers cite parent-family community
involvement as a key to addressing the school dropout
crisis
Schools
 Schools, parents, and the community should work
together to promote the health, well-being, and
learning of all students.
 Conservation and promotion culture
 All-round development of the individual
 Development of higher values of life
 Adjustability in society
 Development of social responsibility
 Vocational training
MOSQUES
 The mosque has an important place in Muslims' lives. It is not only a symbol of
their identity but also a refuge to protect them from evil. The Muslim community
has always been attached to the mosque throughout history in some way or
another.
 Mosque's Significance as an Institution:- The mosque has played a central role in the cultural and social life
of Muslims as an institution. The Mosque was a center of almost all activities of the Muslims in the past. It
used to be a place of worship, a center of education, a judicial court, and a government center for making
political and administrative decisions.
 Mosque as Educational Center:- One of the most important roles of the mosque is that it serves as a
center for educational activities. In the early centuries of Islam, the mosque was an educational center
where all forms of educational activities took place. The Qur'an was taught there and Qur'anic verses
explained by the Prophet. The Companions used to memorize and record the sayings of the Prophet within
the mosque.
STEPS TOWARDS POPULATION EDUCATION PLANNING &
WELFARE
 Stages of Planning
 The educational planning process comprises several phases or
stages. More important of these are:-
1. Pre-Planning
 The principal task in the pre-planning stage is formulation of educational
objectives and their approval by authorities. The next step would be:-
 Determining planning procedures.
 Creation of administrative machinery.
 Collection and analysis of relevant data.
PLANNING PLAN FORMULATION
 The second stage in the
process is planning. The main
steps in the stage are:-
 Diagnosis
 Policy
 Costs
 Targets
 It is the preparation of brief but,
adequate statements for:-
I. Enabling the appropriate national
authorities to make decisions and
approve the programme and
II.Providing a blueprint for action
and implementation.
PLAN ELABORATION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Before an educational plan can be
implemented, it has to be elaborated
so as to clearly identify individual
action units.
It is the taking up of individual
projects for execution. Here the
planning process merges with the
management process. The resources
are mobilized to implement the
projects of plan.
EVALUATION
 During the implementation of the plan, constant evaluation of
the rate of progress and detection of deviations continues. This
evaluation highlights weakness in the plan’s unrealistic targets.
It thus provides the basis for re-planning.
POPULATION EDUCATION PLANNING STRATEGIES
& APPROACHES
Planning Strategies
i. Macro planning is that which takes place at the
national level. Such a plan sets general targets
and guidelines, allocates national resources to the
educational sectors among others and provides a
reference base for decisions on national
priorities. This plan, however, is not an action
plan.
ii. The micro approach to planning, also known as
the ‘environment based’ approach, involves
planning at the local level. In this process, the
local situation is examined to identify problems
and needs of the target and assign priorities to
programme activities.
Planning Approaches
 Individual Approach
 In this approach, the field workers or
policy makers begin by contacting individuals
personally.
 Family Approach
 This approach involves all members of
the family.
 The Special Interest or Group Approach
 Women’s associations, youth groups
and workers associations provide opportunities for
group discussion on topics which matter to them
and their community.
POLLUTION
 Pollution is defined as the bringing of unsafe or toxic substances
into the environment, such as the soil, the air and water. The act of
polluting usually renders the environment less safe than it was
before.
TYPES OF POLLUTION
Air Pollution
 Air pollution is defined as any
contamination of the atmosphere that disturbs
the natural composition and chemistry of the
air. Air pollution comes from a wide variety of
sources. Some of the most excessive sources
include:
• Vehicle or manufacturing exhaust
• Forest fires, volcanic eruptions, dry soil
erosion, and other natural sources
• Building construction or demolition
Water Pollution
 Water pollution involves any contaminated
water, whether from chemical, particulate, or
bacterial matter that degrades the water's
quality and purity. Causes of water pollution
include:
• Increased sediment from soil erosion
• Improper waste disposal and littering
• Leaching of soil pollution into water
supplies
• Organic material decay in water supplies
Soil Pollution
 Soil, or land pollution, is contamination of
the soil that prevents natural growth and
balance in the land. widespread effects.
 Soil pollution sources include:
• Hazardous waste and sewage spills
• Non-sustainable farming practices, such
as the heavy use of inorganic pesticides
• Strip mining, deforestation, and other
destructive practices
• Household dumping and littering
Noise Pollution
 Noise pollution refers to undesirable levels
of noises caused by human activity that disrupt
the standard of living in the affected area.
Noise pollution can come from:
• Traffic
• Airports
• Railroads
• Manufacturing plants
• Construction or demolition
SOME OTHER TYPES ARE
 Radioactive Pollution
 Radioactive pollution is rare but extremely detrimental, and even deadly, when it occurs.
 Thermal Pollution:
 Thermal pollution is excess heat that creates undesirable effects over long periods of time.
 Light Pollution:
 Light pollution is the over illumination of an area that is considered obtrusive. Light pollution makes it
impossible to see stars, therefore interfering with astronomical observation and personal enjoyment.
 Visual Pollution:
 Visual pollution - eyesores - can be caused by other pollution or just by undesirable, unattractive views.
 Personal Pollution:
 Personal pollution is the contamination of one's body and lifestyle with detrimental actions.
