Guidelines for Whole School Development Planning (WSDP)

1. Guidelines for Whole School Development Planning (WSDP)

2. Defining WSDP Whole School Development Planning • A holistic school development plan is combination of educational plan that guides the infrastructure plan and its effective usage in the learning processes. • Whole School Development Plan has to reflect the vision of a school and ways to achieve it. • It is a master plan and base document for school’s educational and infrastructure work as well as its development in phases. • Its planning is seen as an evolving process rather than one time activity.

3. Contents of WSDP • Background of community • History of school • Vision of school • School Data • Analysis of school data • Long term Educational Plan and Infrastructure Development Plan • Estimate for implementing for one year Action plan • Source of Funds and Convergence for above Action plan • Implementation Mechanism for above Action plan

4. Whole School Development Plan The Average size of school across the country is of about 3.8 classrooms. In Bihar, this average is 4.5 classrooms in primary and 3.4 classrooms as average of all schools This is 3.5 in Meghalaya and 22.0 in Chandigarh [All data based on DISE 2010-11]

5. Whole School Development Plan About 3,08,000 Classrooms required across country for implementing RTE In Bihar, 1,33,000 classrooms are required to implement RTE. Student Classroom Ratio (SCR) is 83 in Bihar (Average 31 across India) [based on DISE data 2010-11]

6. Whole School Development Plan Background of WSDP 37% Bihar Schools have girls toilets (2010-11) 45% Bihar Schools have common toilets (10-11) and of this 60% are functional and of this 77% are functional 22% Bihar Schools have boys toilets (2010-11) and of this 44% are functional and 44% Schools have Boundary Wall. 92% Bihar Schools have Drinking water

7. Planning in a coordinated way Playground Why? Playground SSA TSC Doner There are multiple agencies providing infrastructure in schools, very often creating chaos SSA Social Forestry MPLAD Panchayat MPLAD Panchayat Social Forestry MLALAD Doner Doner Doner MLALAD TSC A school without holistic planning A school with holistic planning

8. Today: 2011 Near future : 2013 Planning holistically, with space for future expansion Spaces are accessible to all children Distant future : 2016 Planning for future, now

9. Planning • Design Development • W S D Plan Approval • Capacity Building • Implementation

10. Spatial Components of a School • All weather school building consisting of • At least one Class-room for every teacher and an office-cu-store-cum-Head teacher’s room; • Barrier-free access • Separate toilets for boys and girls. • Safe and adequate drinking water facility to all children’ • A kitchen where mid-day meal is cooked in the school; • Playground • Arrangements for securing the school building by boundary wall or fencing • Library

11. Spatial Components of a School • Corridors/ Verandas • Stair cases • Terraces • Learning Spaces • Garden

12.

13. S I M U L T A N E O U S L Y QUALITY ACCESS + RETENTION EQUITY

14. Understanding the Goals of Learning It is important that the school’s physical, educational, institutional and social environment exemplifies these goals UNESCO defines the goals of Learning for the 21st century as Learning to do to know to be to live together

15. Whole School Development Planning Plan for improvement in present school Multiple utility of repair and maintenance exercise Enhancing basic provisions • Splayed jambs of openings • Light coloured interiors and outdoor facing walls • Reduced glare Ensuring proper light and ventilation for all It helps all and low vision, low hearing children as well.

16. Manifestation in infrastructure development Develop entire school as place for learning – classrooms, corridors, outdoors.

17. Manifestation in infrastructure development Develop entire school as place for learning – classrooms, corridors, outdoors.

18. Developing outdoor play spaces Discarded-Tyre : Adventure playground Developed play spaces. Play space is not hampered by unplanned / undesirable construction

19. Our emerging vision of schools Manifestation in infrastructure development Well ventilated, naturally lit, cheerful indoor spaces

20. Comprehensive child friendly inclusive design would include the following : • Approach to the school and spaces • Play ground and outdoor spaces • Play equipment • Corridors and classrooms • Learning aids • Display and storage provisions • Doors and window • Switch boards • Toilets and drinking water points • Furniture • All these should be designed for independent use by all children, including children with special needs (CWSN)

21. Our emerging vision of schools Manifestation in infrastructure development Children can independently handle and operate hardware

22. Our emerging vision of schools Manifestation in infrastructure development Self engaging learning or play elements are scattered all across the school premises, such that all children are engaged in some activity or other.

23. Our emerging vision of schools Manifestation in infrastructure development • Sense of ownership and responsibility amongst community and parents • Space for parents and teachers to interact and reflect on children’s progress in the school

24. Our emerging vision of schools • Case-study of a school where children • "don't want to go home" • and come very early and leave very late ! • An example of effectiveness of WSDP & BaLA and the transformation it can bring about • in SSA School spaces

29. Ashram- School as a place like Ashram • Site selection- Save fertile land • Materials-Build with What you have? • Structure-improve structural efficiency • Design-Customize buildings for all seasons and site factors • Do it yourself-human building construction • Cluster layout-user friendly • Building system-pre fabricated components • Design for expansion- Keep provision for future expansion • Staircase • Rooms around a courtyard -for light and ventilation

30. Terrace- for open air activities. • Built in furniture –for making tables and benches etc. • Jaali-bamboo, bricks, stone at various places. • Insulated roof- for comfort in different seasons • Door and windows -to make the child friendly • Color scheme- attractive and light colour schemes • Compositing -Kitchen, farm and animal waste • Live fence- Trees and thorny plants

31. Climatic zones of our country • Hot dry climate • Warm humid climate • Temperate climate • Composite climate • Cold dry climate • Cold humid climate • Primary materials • Mud, brick, stone • Wood, bamboo, cane

32. Primary materials • Metal, clay tiles • Lime, cement, PCC, RCC and glass etc. • Land terrains of our County • Flat terrains (0-50) • Min slope terrains (5-150) • Moderate slope terrains (15-300) • Steep slope terrains (> 300)

33. External features to keep in mind to select the school site. • Sufficient land size • Features of good schools site • Thermal comfort • Lighting • Ventilation • Type of building systems and their selection • Load bearing masonry system • Frame system

34. Hazard resistant construction • Earthquake hazard • Cyclone hazard • Flood hazard • Man-made hazard • Fire • Open barbed wire fencing • Unprotected deep water body • Underground sewage discharge • High tension wire • Stagnated water

35. Ensure School has adequate water and sanitation • Ensure all the children have easy access to potable water • Ensure separate sanitary blocks available for boys and girls • Ensure an affordable, sustainable and institutional set-up for operation, maintenance and monitoring of water and sanitation service- the school • Establish a system to ensure all the children one aware of key hygiene behavior and adopting them in their day to day life • Organize health check up camps, to identify water and sanitary related diseases in children and arrange referral service.

43. Security • Privacy • Accessibility • Supervision • Maintaining clean environment • Incinerator for girls toilet • Operation and maintenance of toilets • Monitoring • Risk of ground water contamination
