STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. At the level of the individual class center, each group of participants is responsible for selecting their own facilitator, finding an appropriate, accessible location for classes, and choosing 10 hours per week to hold classes. Classes are generally held in local primary schools after hours, or in community centers or churches. Class hours are typically two hours per day, Monday through Friday, in the evening or night, or 5 hours per day on both Saturday and Sunday. The local selection of facilitator, location, and hours is designed to ensure greater accessibility for participants. While the precise figure is unknown, average class size is probably between 10 and 20 participants.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. At the local level, SAT sites are closely linked with the communities where they are located, mainly because of SAT’s close involvement with community development. Generally, local parents and community leaders help to manage and support the local SAT site. The SAT program is 30 hours per week, 20 classroom hours, and 10 fieldwork hours. Classroom hours are held in the afternoon, Monday through Friday. The school calendar runs parallel to the SE calendar with the important exception that in SAT there is no student repetition, so if students do not pass a final exam or if all the material is not covered in the traditional school calendar, classes can continue indefinitely until students are prepared to move on to the next year. Classes are held in the local community, either in a pre-existing building or in infrastructure created by the community for the center. One center we visited was held in open thatch huts that had been built by the community for SAT.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. At the local level, IHER offices finance the program, select program “animators” (teachers), and handle day-to-day administration. The program is comprised of one hour of radio per week per grade level and four hours of tutorial with an animator. As with EDUCATODOS, the location for the local IHER center and time of the tutorial hours are determined by the group of students and their animator to be accessible to participants. Community IHER centers frequently are located in community centers, churches, or primary or pre-schools.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. As mentioned above, Telebásica takes place in traditional Centros Básicos, schools primarily located in rural areas that offer grades 1 through 9. Because these are traditional schools, there is little community management. Classes are held five hours a day from Monday through Friday for a total of 30 hours per week. Every day a variety of subjects are covered, generally lasting 40 minutes each.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. SEMED is a self-instructional program in which participants study on their own during the week and on the weekend meet at the school site for classes consisting of review and end-of-period exams on Saturday afternoons from 1-6pm and Sunday mornings from 7am-12pm. This comprises a total of 10 face-to- face hours per week. Participants generally come from the urban center where the institute is located and surrounding rural and semi-urban communities. While we do not have precise figures, SEMED class sizes tend to be much larger than many of the other programs, with program staff estimating an average of 75 students per class at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, SEMED suffers from a serious drop-out problem and by the time we observed classes at the end of the academic year, some classes had no more than 15 attending students.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. The target population for night schools includes nontraditional students, many of whom are youth who work in maquilas. Others are unemployed youth, adults, or youth working in other sectors such as the service sector. Nearly all participants are poor. The only real difference between traditional programs and night school programs is the hours of class. Night schools are held in the evening hours, generally for 3.5 or 4 hours per day, Monday through Friday, from around 5:30 to 9 p.m. Individual classes are shorter to accommodate this shortened time period (which, in day programs, is usually 5 hours a day), lasting 30 minutes each. Like SEMED, night schools are held in traditional secondary education institutes which are in urban (or semi- urban) areas. The SE reports that there are more night schools held in private schools today than are held in public schools. Most night schools are now organized and run in private secondary schools with little supervision by the SE.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION. This study has shown that issues of program organization – such as the times and locations of classes – are of the utmost importance in terms of lowering the barriers to schooling for nontraditional participants. As we saw earlier, the need to work and work hours were the single largest obstacle for youth in terms of participating in an education program and in Table 26 and 27 above, the lowest rated characteristic of the alternative education programs in Honduras is the distance of the program from participants’ and deserters’ homes. Four of the programs we studied – SAT, EDUCATODOS, IHER, and Telebasica -- target rural youth by locating program sites in local rural settings. This type of organization accommodates rural participants and prevents the cost and time required to travel to urban centers. On the other hand, locating program sites in rural areas reduces potential access to highly qualified teachers, the ability to borrow or share existing infrastructure in other secondary schools, and the ability to create economies of scale by serving large groups of participants in a reasonable number of centers. SEMED and Institutos Nocturnos are both able to generate economies of scale, use existing infrastructure and resources, and employ qualified teachers but night schools serve very few rural students because the location and the daily classes combined make it nearly impossible for rural students to attend, and SEMED does serve rural students but has much higher transportation costs, also introducing greater security risks for students traveling from rural locations. The six programs operate during a range of different hours. Nocturnos are at night, SAT in the afternoon, Telebásica in the morning, and SEMED over the weekend. Perhaps the best accommodation to students is demonstrated by EDUCATODOS and IHER, both of which allow individual program centers to choose their own hours – to meet a required number of hours – based on when participants and teachers can be present. Students and teachers communicated that this was a strength in these programs. Telebásica has the least convenient schedule for nontraditional participants as their morning classes do not allow for rural workers (who typically work in the morning) or full-time workers (although it should be noted that Telebásica does not attempt to target these populations). Nocturnos are much better organized to suit working youth but many participants, particularly young women, face security risks head...
