Contexto

Afghanistan has seen considerable progress over the past 12 years in terms of access to education. The increase in enrolment from 1 million pupils in 2001 (almost all boys) to today’s enrolment of more than 9 million students (40.5 % of whom are girls) stands out as one of the most significant achievements. Enrolment of girls in Bamyan and Badakhshan are higher than the national average (46%) while girls’ enrolment in Baghlan is at 37.5%.  Despite major achievements in the last decade, access to education still remains a big challenge for the MoE and development partners, with various problems such as: shortage of qualified female teachers and school administrators especially in rural areas, poor quality of teaching, lack of adequate infrastructure and poor academic supervision practices.

Objetivos

More girls and boys benefit from better quality secondary schooling in Badakhshan, Baghlan and Bamyan provinces. 

Grupos destinarios

Directly: TTC/Satellite lecturers in Bamyan, secondary school teachers and management teams, school shuras members in 12 districts and PED/DED officials in 3 provinces of Bamyan, Baghlan and Badakhshan. In total over a 100’000 school children will benefit throughout the life of project phase.

Efectos a medio plazo

  • Secondary schools, particularly in marginalized areas, deliver improved quality schooling to boys and girls.  
  • Provincial and District Education Departments (PED/DED) in partnership with communities improve the quality and sustainable delivery of secondary-level education services.
