Fund a five-year action research project

Fair Chance Foundation has funded a five-year action research project (starting in 2017) that seeks to determine the gendered factors that contribute to educational success for young people in Haryana, India. Haryana experiences significant gender-based practices that affect the ability of young people to access and remain within the education system, and to progress into higher education. The project therefore focusses on gendered social relations and gender differences in choices, obstacles and opportunities for young people as they progress through the education system, and ultimately intends to devise interventions that Summary of the main can bring about positive social change. activities undertaken for the The project design has been developed in collaboration with the public benefit in relation to University of Warwick and a core group of Indian partners.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Action research project

Context and overview

We continued with planned development of our research phases. The aims for this final year were

  1. to shift from primary evidence gathering to analysis of phases 1-3 findings and to move to dissemination and impact phase 4. Phase 4 targeted a range of audiences with the aim of highlighting our contribution

  2. to the development of gender and higher education research agendas

  3. to higher education policy making within the framework provided by India’s National Education Policy 2020.

  4. to supplement Fair Chance Foundation funding to enable us to undertake a more extensive programme of impact events to add value to the overall project. We were successful in obtaining £42,000 from the Economic and Social Research Council’s Impact Acceleration Award scheme.

  5. to enable Warwick University to appoint Anjali Thomas as a postdoctoral fellow. In addition, Anjali was successfully awarded a Warwick University early career fellowship.

  6. to consider a follow up project. Fair Chance Foundation have agreed to fund a 4 year follow up project which would extend the research to encompass 6 Indian states and increase the potential to impact education policy making.

However, a key factor affecting our plans was the covid pandemic. It prevented us from travelling to India to facilitate the programme of dissemination and impact events with our partners and collaborators. They too were facing similar and extremely difficult circumstances. Luckily the primary research gathering phases for the research were almost completed (although it had some impact on the phase 3 research undertaken by Nikita Samanta). We were obliged to adapt our plans. Nonetheless, we managed with the huge assistance provided by our Indian partners and collaborators to achieve many of the planned impact activities although we had to postpone some events. These have been completed successfully in 2022.

communities.

In line with our approach, we developed these collaboratively with research partners and through consultation with our Consultative Group (CG) and Research Advisory Group (RAG). Due to the pandemic, we relied on online communications and meetings with these groups.

Dissemination and impact events

A workshop was hosted by Central University Haryana, facilitated by Dr Renu Yadav a member of the CG.

Aims

This was held online in September 2021. It was attended by regional policy makers; principals of government colleges in Haryana and senior university academics. The PB and the OAR obtained support from regional policy makers. Three colleges agreed to pilot the OAR and hold outreach events in their colleges.

FCF Project conference

Our academic dissemination event A Fair Chance for Education: Problematising Access and Mapping Gendered Pathways to Higher Education in India Conference’ was held online (15-16 July 2021). It was jointly organised by the University of Warwick and Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Mumbai with our project partner, Professor Nandini Manjrekar.

Aims:

The call for papers for the conference resulted in a very strong response which reflects the recognition that the project has achieved. The conference itself drew a large number of attendees, with 113 delegates participating on Day 1 and 86 on Day 2. In total, there were 144 attendees present across both days (including speakers and chairs, excluding the organising committee). There were 24 presentations overall from gender and education scholars and advocates from across India resulting in considerable discussion of the gender based challenges faced by disadvantaged groups and identities in accessing and progressing in higher education.

The plenary session involved presentations by leading educationalists with interests in gender issues in India and internationally. They all recognised the important contribution that our project findings were making to scholarship but also the impact our work could make to higher education policy making. We subsequently received very positive informal feedback from several participants.

Mentoring programme

We continued to run a mentoring programme for the older children (classes 11 and 12) to help guide them in their future career choices and preparation for university.

English Language Development

Apart from the regular English and Maths & Science tutors to help with academics, we continue to employ an additional English tutor to focus on the children’s conversational English and communication skills.

Life skills education

We organized wellbeing workshops for children and young adults on – “Mera Mann”( Dealing with emotions), Communications skills and impact of COVID on our lives.

We also organized several competitions for school going children at the ashram and gave out prizes to the winners. Since the children were not going to school and remained within ashram premises due to COVID, we tried to engage and motivate them. Some of the competitions held were a badminton competition, Make and Ad, Bollywood Quiz, and poster making on protection from COVID.

Medical assistance

We renewed the medical insurance for all the ashram children. We also paid for all the eligible young adults to be vaccinated against Corona virus.

Internet Connection

We continued to sponsor a separate internet connection for the ashram children so that the online studies were not interrupted.
