Girl children are the targets of the Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation. The Foundation helps children to attain adequate reading, writing and counting skills. It trains teachers to cope with large classes and show them how to creatively impart knowledge to learners and motivates the children to be curious participants in the classroom and to assert their right to co-determination with self-confidence.
Access to good quality education that is relevant to everyday life is the major concern of the Foundation. The foundation also introduces bilingual classroom teaching and multilingual education. It cooperates with children, parents, teachers and communities to expand the existing curricula to include local knowledge and skills and develop appropriate teaching units.
Projects of PCF help teachers to acquire the necessary subject expertise and improve the access of children in difficult situations to good quality primary school education. Children and adolescents from different ethnic and social groups are helped to assert their right to co-determination at school as well as in their communities.
