At the end
of the week they are paid a stipend of Rs.50/- per week
for the time sacrificed out of their work routines and
coming to ZT school to acquire some basic education,
life skills and ethics which are generally lacking in
their family lives. This also provides them a motivation
to continue their formal education once some literacy
has been imparted upon them by the ZT Schools. Presently,
ZT supports over 2800 students studying in schools operating
in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
Students
are provided education in a three year span commencing
from kindergarten (KG) level and finishing at class
five levels. They are provided education of English,
Urdu, Social Studies, Islamiat, Mathematics, Science
and Computers. Teachers are trained every year on current
methodology of teaching/learning, whereby they are motivated
to move away from typical rote memorization and encourage
children to learn through conduct of interactive sessions.
Students are appraised on a regular basis and minimal
dependency is kept on the end of term examination with
a view to ultimately do away with the end of term examination.
