Abstract

As part of the action-research project on creating an empowerment-based mentoring module for instigating critical thinking skills in adolescent children, CBPS had conducted a baseline survey in April 2018. The baseline survey covered 755 students across 10 schools from different regions in Bihar, collecting information on various parameters such as profile of students and their households, peer group interactions, attitudes and understanding of gender, to name a few. This was followed by an endline survey which was conducted at the end of the classroom-based intervention to assess any change from what was observed during baseline. This report mainly discusses the results of this endline survey conducted in February 2020. The purpose of the endline survey was mainly to study the change in attitudes of these children, if any, based on our intervention. The report summarises the trends from the survey, cataloguing shifts in attitudes and experiences of the mentoring module.
