Building of School Councils: A Study of Government Primary Schools in District Bhakkar  \nMalik Ghulam Behlol *, Rafaqat Ali Akbar ** and Muhammad Shahid***  \nAbstract  \nThe major objective of the study was to examine the scope and impact of interventions carried out by National Rural Support Program (NRSP) for capacity building of school councils (SC) in district Bhakkar. Survey method was applied to conduct this study that allows examining the variables in natural setting without any manipulation or control. Geographical universe of the study was district Bhakkar whereas primary school teachers and SC members were the human universe of the study. Random and purposive sampling techniques were applied to select the sample of the study. Structured interview was constructed and validated by the experts to collect data. The major conclusions of the study are that SC may have positive impact on the access and quality of education in providing financial, administrative and intellectual support to primary schools. It needs to be restructured and SCs members get need based training for effective monitoring, supervising, supporting and facilitating schools. The current capacity building workshop has a significant impact but much is needed to be done to make SC a really supportive tool for primary schools.  \nKeywords: Capacity building, School Councils, primary schools, impact  \n*Assistant Professor, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi.

Improving the access and quality of primary education has become a global agenda at national and international forums (Education for All, Millennium Development Goals, United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of Children) . Along with the public institutions, civil society and philanthropic organizations are also contributing to ensure quality education, health and well-being of children at primary stage. The studies conducted at national and international levels recognize the importance of community participation in school matters that may enhance the quality of education and increase the retention rate (Crozier & Davies, 2007; Lasky, 2000; Vincent, 2000) . In Pakistan, concept of community participation in school management got prominence in 1994 during the implementation of the Social Action Program (SAP) . School Management Committees (SMCs) and School Repair Committees (SRCs) were constituted for all primary and elementary schools, and were given the mandate of motivating parents in their communities to enroll, and retain children in school. They were also authorized to monitor teacher attendance, and participate in the management of financial and administrative affairs of the elementary schools.  \nSchool Management Councils (SMCs) consisting of 12 members were asked to prepare school development plans identifying funding requirements and possible funding sources for development works and other school activities. SRCs were primarily responsible for overseeing the execution of development works in schools. SMCs renamed as School Councils (SC) which could not contribute effectively to management of financial and administrative matters because of multiple reasons. It has been observed that the members of SCs were neither properly trained nor committed enough to discharge their duties for the uplift of primary education (Nasira, 2010; Hopkins, 2001) . So, NRSP took the initiative by designing and implementing School Council Capacity Building Project (SCCBP) to enhance the capacities of SCs for their effective performance in working with teaching community. They carried out the project in six districts in 2005-06, with","cbCaioqWHJBuanOe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioqWHJBuanOe","pdf",119744,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Objectives of the Study\n# Literature Review\n## School Council in Punjab","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the NRSP study in Bhakkar?\",\"answer\":\"To examine the scope and impact of NRSP interventions aimed at building capacity of school councils in district Bhakkar.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected and what method was used?\",\"answer\":\"A survey method was applied, and structured interviews were constructed and validated by experts to collect data from primary school teachers and SC members.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study conclude about the impact of school councils?\",\"answer\":\"School councils may positively influence access and education quality by providing financial, administrative, and intellectual support, but they need restructuring and members require need-based training for effective monitoring and support.\"}]","Capacity Building of School Councils - A Study of Government Primary Schools in District Bhakkar | PDF",1792081936]
