2.1 Strategic Objective
All those in our target communities who have missed out on formal education have achieved basic literacy and received general education.
To do this we will:
- Provide courses in accelerated learning to children who have missed out on formal education;
- Provide literacy courses to illiterate adults (men and women) in the community
2.2 Strategic Objective
Schools in our target communities are receiving effective support for the delivery of quality education.
To do this we will:
- Promote quality education, particularly for girls, among parents and community leaders in order to raise demand and support for increased and better education
- Where local education governing bodies do not exist, we will work with local authorities to assist community leaders, school administrators, teachers and parents to establish community education committees (CECs) and school management committees (SMCs) to provide community-led governance for local-level education.
- Provide CECs and SMCs training and other assistance to enable them to carry out their duties, such as draw up a school improvement plan, or participate in school management.
- Mobilise teachers and school administrators to voice their demands for adequate school equipment, stationary including text books, a better school environment, and better pay.
- Collaborate with government in providing updated teacher training courses to students and in-service training to teachers
- Provide trainings in school management to school administrators, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education
- Advocate in collaboration with national civil society and key education actors for the full implementation of national education policy, including the National Education Strategic Plan (NESP) 2017-2021, with appropriate budget allocations for primary education in rural communities.
