3. Science Teacher Observed:
Name Farzana Kousar Gender Female Subject Interested English, Social studies
Qualification Graduate SEF Trained Untrained Type of Training Nil
Observations:
Challenges:
Due to high enrolment in the school i.e. more than 450+ and no space available for further admissions, the classes are quite
congested and few classes had to be arranged in open, outside the available classrooms. This thing directly affects the
teaching-learning process as the noise coming from the classrooms outside distracts the attention of most of the learners.
Recommendations:
It is indeed suggested to hire Sindhi speaking teachers as well so that most of the children who understand Sindhi only will
not feel neglected or ignored and it will help them in understanding the concepts better.
