Let us Dream Together

 

Initial situation / problem statement

Students of rural areas face serious issues during the transition from primary to high school. The main problems are the lack of information, support, and motivation to study in universities and colleges.

 

Target Group

Students of 9, 10, 11 grades can get valuable information from our meeting. We decided to concentrate our project on students who can further make decisions independently and change their lives.

 

Goal Statement

Our goal is to support 70 students from the rural school in Mukur village in the Jalal-Abad region during their transition from high school to university by conducting the meeting with them and

Giving first-hand information and consultations about universities and professional & technical schools (ПТУ)
Motivating them by providing with resources of self-education (English language books, ОPT books) and self-development (sharing success stories)
Supporting them during the admission process to universities by providing them with brochures with necessary information about Bishkek, and a “support group” of volunteers at each university and college who will support enrollees in preparation of documents until the moment they enter the university or technical & professional schools.

 

Resources and responsibilities

As a primary resource of the project, there should be a team of 6 members. Responsibilities:

2) Aisha: cooperation with technical & professional schools, agreement with the school in Mukur, preparation of transportation and accommodation.

3) Other 4 members will assist Aisha and Tolgonai during all the preparation processes.
