TFA has introduced a new Non-Formal School
System, in which it runs 1 school, with 1 teacher
and 35 students. Teachers are selected from the same
locality where the schools are established. Being a
more convenient, cost effective and simple method, Non-Formal
School System can be established in a make shift room
or even in an open space.
Seven Steps to Build a School
- Identifying areas for building of schools
- Identifying Teachers from the same areas
- Teachers Training
- Building new schools for the under privileged children
- Identifying the children
- Providing books and stationery material to the under
privileged children
- Free education to be provided to these under privileged
children
Activities
- Establishment of formal and non-formal schools for
the children
- Smooth running of these schools, after establishment,
in the under privileged areas

Teachers Training
Teachers are selected from the local community, and
trained to become agents of social change, by conforming
to TFA Trust vision and philosophy. The significance
of teachers in our non formal school system increases
tenfold, as the total responsibility of routine management,
marketing, accounting, registration, admissions, provision
of books and stationery to children, teaching, keeping
track of students’ progress, submission of monthly
progress report to the head office, etc. lies solely
with him/her. TFA, therefore, focuses and greatly emphasizes
on teachers training.
To maintain a basic standard throughout these schools,
TFA Trust has a strict monitoring system in place with
a co-ordinator leading it. The co-ordinator is chosen
on the basis of good academic record and outstanding
performance during training, as he is responsible not
just for monitoring schools, but also for providing
necessary support to teachers, to allow for uninterrupted
and smooth operation of our schools.
