Assist families in identifying and completing scholarship applications, ensuring all required documentation is collected. Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in vCAN and other systems, including attendance, assessments, PEP execution, and growth tracking.
Coordinate with the Social Support Team (SST) to support holistic child development. Submit monthly progress reports to the Project Head, Principal, or Head Teacher. Follow up with students post-reintegration to monitor ongoing academic engagement and well-being. Participate in awareness sessions and workshops to build community understanding of children’s educational needs.
Collaborate with local schools to facilitate successful reintegration of students into mainstream education.

Strong child-centric approach with expertise in interactive and visual learning techniques. Excellent communication, interpersonal, and coordination skills for working with families and multidisciplinary teams.
