Vocational Training and Technical Education

New Generation Humanitarian Organization[NGHO] , Bangladesh
Expiration: May 26, 2018

Everybody has some knowledge and every kind of knowledge has more or less some power. But the power of an individual remains sleeping in his mind. In general education an individual obtain theoretical knowledge which gives him a certificate but no work. After obtaining a certificate he becomes inactive. Only a work can lift up him from the sleeping and the work makes him conscious about the power what he possesses. Under this circumstances, every classroom should be a factory as John Dewey said. Not only that in present situation, every classroom should be a Laboratory.

PROMOTING SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INFORMATION AND LIFE SKILLS AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE 10-24 YEARS IN KASAWO SECONDARY SCHOOL

Uganda is among the three countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that contributes almost half of the HIV new infections occurring in young people (15-24) years UNAIDS 2014. HIV prevalence among adolescents aged 10 – 19 years is 2.5%, and the girls have a higher HIV prevalence (2.7%) than boys (1.8%) in the same age range (MOH-ACP, 2013).This is also coupled with high teenage pregnancy rate of 24% (UDHS 2011); High school drop out of girls at 34% due to teenage pregnancy and 11 % due to early marriages; survey on re-entry of pregnant girls in secondary schools in Uganda 2012. There is inadequate knowledge on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) among adolescents coupled with inadequate access to youth friendly services standing at 45% UDHS 2011. According to the Ministry of Education and Sports, 21% of secondary school girls aged 14-18 drop out of school due to teenage pregnancy and among the contributing factors identified was inadequate information and access to friendly SRHR Services. Providing information to the young people and linking them to facilities may improve on school dropout and in the long run reduce on the number of teenage pregnancies At the School level, the 2015/2016 school retention statistics indicate that 15 percent of the students enrolled in senior one do not complete senior four and 10 percent enrolled in senior five do not complete the Advanced level of Education. A deeper analysis of the schools drop out statistics reveals that over 80 percent of students who drop out of school are girls. This is attributed to mainly to the unique challenges faced by the girl child as compared to their male counterparts; key among which are reproductive health issues namely unplanned pregnancies and poor menstruation hygine (lack of sanitary towels). This project intends to provide SRHR information and skills to young people (10-24) years to reduce on absenteeism and school dropout.
