Need: About 70 percent of children attend the government run schools. A high proportion of children in SPW's target schools go through Primary School without learning to read or write and tend to drop out of school at this stage.

Aim: Every child has unlimited potential to learn and achieve. All the child needs is an opportunity to discover and develop his/her potential. The aim is specifically to help children acquire expected competencies and ensure attendance.

Key methods: SPW's experience shows that students only need find their existence inside the school gainful, relevant and beneficial to dramatically improve educational success. SPW volunteers are taught throughout their training participatory and learner-centred techniques which they use with the students and share with the teachers during their placement at the school. In particular they will:

	Define levels of learning and achievement in each class especially at the Primary School level.
	Use creative teaching methods.
	Introduce extra curricular activities, in particular sports.
	Provide opportunities to discus values and civic responsibilities.
	Provide learning experiences that can help children to make right choices in life.
	Link learning with life.
	Provide leadership opportunities through SPW clubs.
