Jugnoo is a special program initiated at Humaira Riaz Schools solely to cater to girls that had to leave their education due to lack of resources available to their families. This fact is supported by World bank research as well which shows that 12million girls are out of schools in 2018 which is 2million more than boys. Therefore, in 2019, Humaira Riaz Schools started the Jugnoo program which targets OOS girls.
Girls in this program vary in age between 14 to 21 who have never been to school or had to leave their schooling at some point in time. In order to educate them, Humaira Riaz Schools has incorporated a research based accelerated program whereby the girls can do their high school within 4 yrs.
The accelerated learning program syllabus is designed after years of research by the top educationists in the country as a lead project by Literate Pakistan. (https://lpf.org.pk/accelerated-learning-program/) This program uses a mechanism whereby Phonics are used to teach both Urdu and English languages, IPR (Introduction, Practice & Review) sequence for effective learning of all the concepts snf Text is arranged in easy to difficult order of sentences and paragraphs, making it possible for learners to acquire more in a shorter time.
Currently, the school has 15 girls enrolled in this program and we are targeting approx 50 girls by year 2025.
