From finding to fix, in five steps

1

Identify

Club members listen to students, parents and teachers: what needs to change? They choose what they will monitor.

2

Observe and record

During regular visits, always in pairs, they answer a questionnaire shared by all schools, take photos and notes.

3

Make it public

Every “no” answer becomes a problem published on EduCheck and on the school notice board; the school administration is informed.

4

Discuss solutions

Problems and solutions are discussed in a dialogue between students, school management, parents and authorities. With patience, most problems are solved.

5

Verify and celebrate

One monitor records the fix, a second one confirms it. Successes are displayed as prominently as problems.

Understand the method

In their words

“I used to be afraid to speak or make friends; now I know how to help others understand what I have learnt.”

— Club member, Nepal

“We now know that a broken door can be reported to the administration, and that we can suggest a feasible solution.”

— Club member, Kenya

“Monitoring was taken seriously because the management had to respond and answer for the school’s reputation.”

— Focal teacher, Nepal
