Principal’s Forum: School Vouchers for Girls
School Choice Campaign organised a Principal’s
Forum on 3 February 2010 at the Jain Dharamshala, Shastri Park, North
Delhi as the first in the series of a yearly meet with the principals
of empanelled schools of the School Voucher for Girls pilot project.
The objective of the Principals Forum was to provide
a platform for these principals to better understand the implementation
process and payment transfer mechanism as well as to assist them with
major issues in mainstreaming voucher children previously studying in
government schools.
The event began with an introduction of all the principals
followed by a brief session on the School Choice Campaign and the School
Vouchers for Girls pilot by Dr Parth J Shah, President,
Centre for Civil Society. Dr Shah then opened the floor for principals
to highlight the difficulties the schools encountered in the implementation
of the SVG project. Most of the principals used this opportunity to raise
their concerns which varied from administrative issues like parents not
providing the necessary documents for admission to low attendance of the
voucher students. This was followed by a presentation by Mr Deval
Seth, Head of Strategy, ACCOR Services, on the systematic steps
of “voucher payments”. Ms. Janaki Rajan,
Professor at Jamia Islami and former Director of SCERT conducted the last
session on the importance of parents counseling and pertinent issues arising
during the course of the project.
