Cambridge Education’s Post

In 2023, around 250 million children and young people were out of school. For many, formal education is not a feasible option due to the limited capacity of some governments to reach underserved areas, particularly in contexts of emergency and protracted crises, and remote and rural communities. Community-based education generally takes place outside of traditional classroom settings and is run and overseen by local community members, community-based organisations or non-governmental organisations (NGOs). It has shown to be an effective way to reach the most marginalised children, especially girls. This learning brief from Girls' Education Challenge explains more 👉 https://mottm.ac/3VBnRJQ

The Shule Bora School Readiness Programme has the objective of reaching children and communities that are too far away from the nearest school. Without the full engagement of parents and community these children might never enter formal education - a loss to the human capital of the country (Tanzania).

I agree with the Community Based Education for children living in accessible and under or unserved areas. Parents and community can raise their voice for improved education system. Wider Community can contribute a lot for support findout teacher, extend supervision for strengthening untraditional classroom education, monitor enrollment of out of school children, participation of children in class and completion of education.

I totally agree. We ( FCDO funded Cambridge Education and Mott MacDonald managrd ESSPIN Programme) piloted working with community schools through training of community volunteers for Almajiri Education and it worked magic! Today, the model we used and some of our trainers has informed the National model. The strategy has been tested and assessed by various organisations and it has stood the test of time, still making impact and reaching out to otherwise marginalised groups including hard-to-reach girls in poor rural communities.
