Education

Article 28 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child has the right to a formal education - yet more than 24 million children across the world have never seen a teacher as a result of armed conflict. Our education programmes are designed with the long-term goal of giving children the knowledge and skills to participate fully in their societies and so fulfil their potential. 

We work in partnership with the Ministry of Education of each country in formal and non-formal education settings. Our programmes encompass activities such as catch-up education, basic numeracy and literacy, e-learning initiatives for children affected by conflict and enhanced support for education professionals.
