C. Gyan Shala: A Learning Organization
1. Attendance of after-school tuition
In mid-year, Gyan Shala adjusted quickly to the challenges of secondary education by reinforcing the program with after-school tuition. The above graph suggests that after-school attendance, based on Vasna data for unique student IDs, is higher for students with a Hindu background (47.6% average presence per student) than a Muslim background (25.2% average presence per student). But even more interesting is the fact that the data suggests 62 Hindu are present, based on after-school attendance, versus only 1 Muslim student. This could potentially relate to Madrassa attendance in the afternoon. Nevertheless, given the positive relationship between after-school attendance and performance (see the next analysis/graph), this could nevertheless be explored, in terms of whether it’s possible to increase after-school attendance and how, for, especially, students with a Muslim background.
