The primary education is eight years education divided in to two cycles. Children start schooling at the age of 7 and completes at the age of 14. This is the period of accelerated dynamic changes in the behavior of children and youth in terms of their learning behavior, physical development, their emotion, motivation and perception. In the progress of education, the education process ranges from self-realization through human relations and economic efficiency to civic responsibility as presented by specific curriculum according to each subject matter prepared by the concerned bodies. At the end of the first cycle, the students are expected to develop basic language skills of standardized writing to their level, to develop reading and writing skills, to know their own responsibility, to know the role of their family and their community, to feel responsible and are capable of solving problems in accordance with their age, to become cognitive of their house, their environment, the various activities and they are eager to know, to participate in different activities, to keep their personal hygiene and also can participate in their collective sanitation. The students in the second cycle of the primary education are physically mature enough to carry out easy work. Based on their physical and mental maturity, they can assume personal and social responsibility and can have cultural and social participation. Since they have attained basic education, they are ready for various training and they can be productive with proper follow up and control. They are ready to continue further education and skill development to improve their capacity in various spheres of activities. To fulfill the above realities, New Hope established primary school in its children’s village of Guder. The school established conducts primary education in two cycles. The school is standardized according to the requirement of Oromia Education Bureau and operates as per the rules and regulations of the region. The school is designed to have 8 classrooms, a pedagogical center, administrative block and a library equipped with reference books. The teachers who fulfil the requirement of each level are recruited. The teaching materials, furniture and the necessary equipments are fulfilled. Children with disabilities will get access to basic necessities and basic education from this project. These children as identified during the need assesment are left for anguishing in poverty for ever. The physical, social and economic barrier have effectively hindered children with disabilities. Boarding facilities reduce the physical hassle they face to travel to schools. A workshop centre where artificial bodies are built for them and where they learn how to make these bodies by themselves is needed. The spcecial need education focuses on blind and deaf students. However, the availability of resources has determined the work process and the possibility of the success. High School Kids, after they finish grade eight, they join the high school which is grade nine and grade ten. After they completed grade ten, they go to either to college preparatory which are grade elleven and grade twrlve or if their result is lower for preparatory level, they go to vocational and technical training schools which are one year, two years, three years and four years program based on their results from grade ten. Those who complete preparatory classes, will go to government Universities and colleges. https://www.newhopecchethiopia.org/organization daily 0.75 2020-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1559252583038-QURCP604WRJD3H6G5GO8/justice-rising-ECHO-AND-EARL-23.jpg Organization & Management - Organization & Management Organization and Management New Hope Center for Children and Handicapped is established on December 18th, 2000 and is registered under the Ethiopian law as indigenous or local organization under Number 0003.
