Education intervention - overview

The inclusive and quality education technical programme aims to improve equitable access to inclusive and quality education for children at a basic level.

The fiscal year 2023 has been remarkable in terms of realizing the educational goal of the organisation. Supporting schools with inclusive infrastructure and seating arrangements, developing the capacity of teachers on learner-centered and inclusive pedagogy, supporting local governments in the formulation of education plans and local curricula, fostering literacy skills of children through reading camps and non-formal education, and developing the capacity of caregivers and parents through reading awareness workshops have been the key highlights of FY 2023.
