Rano Bheel Pre-school Mirpurkhas Sindh, Pakistan.
Report by Heero
Area Coordinator of PEP schools in Mirpurkhas
My name is Heero, and I am coordinating the PEP schools in the area of Mirpurkhas in rural Sindh.
Since 2004, Rano Bheel primary school is running in Mirpurkhas, and currently 45 children are enrolled in it.
Other than the PEP school children, there were a larger quantity of children under the age of 5 who were not aware of school going system. The main reason of them not going to school was that they had to take care of their younger siblings while their parents had to toil in the fields. Some of them used to roam around and spend their time recklessly. I had compassion towards these children, and I spoke to the PEP management and expressed the need for these children in words.
Soon the Primary Education Project (PEP) team took initiative and visited the village as well as gave me the suggestion to open a preschool. I accepted their suggestion and that gave me a new perspective to think what we can do.
The next day I visited the whole village and collected data of children for preschool. A meeting was also conducted in which the School Management Committee of the school was involved as well as the local people of village were requested to come; fundamental objective of this meeting was to discuss regarding the young children so they could make good usage of their time and to convince their families. The meeting left a great impact on the villagers as they thought that by sending their children in school they will be able to read and write.
In 2018, the Primary Education Project (PEP) led the foundation of Rano Bheel Preschool. Shortly afterwards, the School Management Committee (SMC) selected a teacher for the preschool who was a graduate of the Primary Education Project school. His name is Mukesh.
Mukesh has completed his primary education from the Primary Education Project School and is now continuing his higher studies. Recently, he has finished high school and since then he has become a teacher in the preschool. He loves to give back to his community through teaching in one of his own schools where he once was a student himself.
