"The Child is the Father of the Man"
"The Child is the Father of the Man"
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Special educational material and teaching aids are certainly helpful. It is with this in mind that CHILD has conceptualized and prepared the SLP Modules. They fill in large vacuum in the availability of such material for vernacular school children. It is our sincere hope that these modules will benefit the slow learners and enable as many of them and in as short a time as possible to join the mainstream class of their normal peers.
With extra time, effort and support complemented with the SLP modules and tempered with love, compassion and reverence, slow learners will reach the shores with what is required of them, to be of use to themselves and the nation.
The successful completion of the teaching modules for Slow learners is in four core subjects, English, Mathematics, Science and Tamil is a significant milestone in CHILD’s vision to ensure all children are literate to expectation by the time they cross standard three in all schools adopted by CHILD. Its achievements to date reflect how seriously it views the Slow Learner issue.
The slow learners will be separated from the mainstream and given close,
personal and concentrated teaching. Modular books and other materials
will be used by a dedicated teacher to motivate, inspire and infuse into the
students the confidence they so lack. As they improve, they will be
returned to the mainstream.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
These students are separated from the mainstream and given more personal attention and concentrated teaching. CHILD has prepared special modules in English, Bahasa Melayu, Science and Mathematics for this programme. Once the children start to improve and are competent they will be returned to the mainstream. Sixty percent of the children participating in the CHILD pilot project improved within 6 to 12 months and could be rehabilitated back to the mainstream. The main beneficiaries of the programme are children of working class parents and single parents.
