It is the firm belief of Family Care Association that an adequate education, from the foundation stages of early primary through to secondary and high school, sets the tone for success and productivity in adult life. We further stress the importance of quality care and input for children from all walks of life, regardless of social status, background, ability and physical or financial challenges.

Family Care’s efforts in promoting educational development range from constructing/refurbishing schools, subsidizing teacher’s salaries, training the teacher/caretakers to providing text books, school stationery, furniture, wall posters, maps and other aids. Read more

Family Care holds teachers training seminars and workshops to ensure that the teachers and caregivers methods are up-to-date. During the workshops our educators work alongside the teachers to create teaching aids and materials. The seminars address topics such as: motivating children to learn, character building, establishing positive learning habits, self discipline and for secondary schools, drug prevention.

Through improving the quality of teaching, we improve the quality and level of learning. The introduction of supplementary curriculums that not only teach the core subjects or English, mathematics, science and social studies, but also moral, behavioral and social courtesies, will benefit young minds both now and in future interactions with others.

In addition to educational seminars, we provide training courses for parents and guardians. These courses address child development from early childhood until teenage-hood. We monitor the progress of our course attendees through home visitations, supplementary studies and workshops to assist their application of training techniques. To supplement these courses we make available reference material, books, CDs, DVDs and many devotional/scholastic aids to teach moral development.

Many of our educational initiatives are aimed at the disadvantaged within centers for the blind and the physically handicapped, rural farming villages, orphanages and isolated communities. An effective way to maintain progress is to include the whole community in the educational program. This has been accomplished by not only offering scholastic training to children, but to all members of the community through providing adult literacy courses.

The targeted communities, on seeing our dedication to educational development, have responded by maintaining the structures and materials we have put in place. The communities themselves make certain that they are being efficiently used by ensuring consistent pupil attendance, thus promoting educational development at all levels for the entire community.
