PA Action in Istanbul, Turkey |
|
|
 Most coaches are college students PA works very well in various settings but often makes a bigger difference where resources are very limited or not well-used, and the numbers are staggering. Two examples from a very crowded school in Istanbul might illustrate the point. The school has about 1500 students, about 40 teachers and a guidance counselor. Every year more students enroll and the school does not have sufficient classrooms to keep up with the enrollment. School is located in the inner city, in the midst of a rough neighborhood. Most students are from families who migrated to Istanbul recently or from Roma families, long-time residents of the area.The school was a chosen as a pilot school by the Ministry of Education for a World Bank Grant Program. The school received computers for student use but students never had much access to computers. The year PA started in the school, money was collected from students for a computer lab but the computer lab was never open to students. A team of 5th graders identified this as their main issue and surveyed the opinions of other students. They had difficulty keeping together and focused during the process but managed to obtain access to the lab for students.
