Education

Education is a human right and a key factor to reducing poverty and child labour, and to promoting democracy, peace, tolerance and development. Yet 113 million children of primary school age, the majority of them girls, are not enrolled in school. Millions more are taught by untrained and underpaid teachers in overcrowded, unhealthy and poorly equipped classrooms.

The Concern Manica Education Project ran from 2004 – 2008. It aimed to improve access, quality and equality of primary education for 31,200 children, especially girls and vulnerable children. This evaluation was carried out in July 2009 and written by Rebecca Heuberger.
