Education
Education is one of the essential tools that impart knowledge and it’s the right to every child. Abject poverty and lack of livelihood opportunities causes trickle-down effect on the mental and physical growth of children, who drop out of schools to work as labourers. CASA ensures overall development of children by giving them an opportunity to study again at CASA’s Bridge schools – thereby ensuring child rights. We believe that every child has the RIGHT to receive the best that society can offer. Children need to grow in an environment that enables them to lead a life of freedom and dignity where opportunities for education and training are provided to grow into worthy citizens.
CASA Bridge Course Centers:
The Bridge Course is designed to allow dropout school children to take informal classes for one year as a bridge into the formal school system. It is an alternative method of helping them learn with creative activities. Non-formal education, holistic and generally more innovative than its formal counterpart, aims to stimulate and sustain the interest of the learners, which requires flexibility and a great deal of imagination.
