ITA was formed and registered in June 2000. ITA's primary
focus is comprehensive education reform. Working
through a sector wide approach, ITA works across public
sector, low cost private schools and most recently
madrassahs.
Before starting the rehabilitation work in a partner school construction committees are formed Construction Committees (CCs) consist of 5 to 7 active members from community, including school head teachers, parents, and other general community members. The members of CCs regularly monitor the school construction / physical rehabilitation work to ensure the quality as well as timely completion of work. ITA engineers give orientation to CCs members on quality construction work; members are trained on their roles & responsibilities. Contact details of contractor, ITA engineer, school staff, ITA offices and other representatives are displayed at a visible place in school, so that anyone could report discrepancy, to ensure transparency, quality and timely completion of construction work.
Roles & Responsibilities of CCs Members:
To
Ensure the quality of construction / physical rehabilitation work;
Ensure the safety of students during construction by managing the material and laborer in school properly;
Ensure the timely completion of construction work by regular visits and close coordination with ITA officials;
Verify the work done by contractors i.e. payments are not released unless approved by construction committees
