Unlocking Bright Futures: Empowering Street-Raised Children Through Education - A Comprehensive Mixed-Method Investigation At The Child Protection & Welfare Bureau

Abstract

This comprehensive mixed-method study aims to achieve two specific objectives. Firstly, it seeks to explore the factors that influence students' performance at the Child Protection & Welfare Bureau in Punjab. Secondly, it aims to examine the changes in students' classroom performance after receiving assistance from the Child Protection & Welfare Bureau in Punjab. Through a sequential mixed-methods design, the research concurrently collects qualitative insights from teachers and quantitative data on student performance, resulting in a profound understanding of the research problem. The study encompasses a population of 40 teachers at the Child Protection & Welfare Bureau. For the qualitative component, a sample of 6 teachers is involved, while the quantitative survey comprises 17 male and female teachers. Recommendations for future research encompass longitudinal studies and the inclusion of students, families, and community perspectives. This study provides valuable insights into enhancing child protection and education for vulnerable populations.
