Project CACA – Assessment

From the academic year 2019-20 onwards, another democratic process, “Assessment”, was added to project CACA. It had two rounds – Round 1 (Quantitative) and Round 2 (Qualitative). Round 1 was in the form of a questionnaire to be filled out by the teachers who were teaching the CACA Safety Workbooks to children. Round 2 was in the form of an interview with the teachers who had participated in Round 1. The interviews for Round 2 were conducted online by the assessment team members. To begin with, 12 schools as a pilot based on first come, first serve were shortlisted for Round 1. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic outbreak, the assessment process (round 2) could not be completed, and the results could not be published. The process has been reinstated from 2023-24 onwards.
