Status 3 - Project Needs BWF wishes to encourage Vocational training for the girls between years of age and requires additional support to get material for educational activities (like colors, drawing sheets, etc) Education standard in Kashmir is relatively low compared to other states, when these students were shifted to Beerwah school, they could not cope up with the education standard-J&K Board is not at par with CBSE & ICSE Lack of qualified staff/teachers in schools due to lower salaries Lack of teaching English even in private school Less focus as one teacher teaches multiple subjects BWF wishes to hire minimum of one tutor at each home to aid the girls with their school work at the Home since the Kupwara home has a large number of residents. Few girls, specially the younger ones, require close individual attention with their academics as they are weak in certain subjects like Maths, English and Science
