PROJECT RATIONALEWHY ETHIOPIA?
![Page 6: Our Small Group ( Tutorial Class For A Change ) June,2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e3a5503460f94b2c5d7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Ethiopia? Because…. - A third world country with poor educational infrastructure and system. - Teacher to student ratio is 1:90, average number of students in one classroom is 62. hence students didn’t get appropriate follow up from their teachers.
Project Rationale

PROJECT RATIONALEWHY OVC’S?
![Page 8: Our Small Group ( Tutorial Class For A Change ) June,2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e3a5503460f94b2c5d7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Orphan and Vulnerable Children(OVC)? We select OVC’s for our project because… - more than half million OVC’s found in Addis Ababa only. - Almost all of these children show poor performance in their schooling and/or drop. - Most of these kids don’t have adults to monitor or to help them in their studies. - Older OVC’s look after their younger siblings in every aspects as a result don’t have time to study.

PROJECT RATIONALEWHY 8TH GRADE STUDENTS?

Why 8th Grade Students? We select 8th grade students because…. - We want to start, do and assess our tutorial project in a few specific group of students. - 8th grade students have a national examination that enables them to transfer to high school, hence need help. - The examination date (May 29, 2011) perfectly corresponds to CMST course time frame.
