Education is one of the most effective ways to break the cycle of discrimination and poverty that children with disabilities often face. Children with disabilities who cannot access school continue to rise every year. The Community Based Enrichment Program helps 400 children with disabilities in Las Pinas City Philippines access school by addressing their specific needs which is often limited by a lack of trained teachers, classroom support learning resources and accessible facilities.
In Las Pinas, 24% of PWD, mostly ages 19 years old and below, have not gone to either preschool program or in school .Limited number of schools that offer special education classes, and Inclusive early childhood care and development programs are not ready. Non-attendance of CWDs to school or any alternative learning may cause delay in psychosocial development (physical, social-emotional, cognitive and language domains)
The overall goal of the project is to promote inclusive education of out of school children with disabilities in formal schools through an innovative community-based transition program and promotion of Children's rights amongst communities and duty-bearers The Community Based Enrichment Program will help increase access of children with disabilities to schools.
The Community based enrichment program will help prepare children with disabilities to enter regular schools by training children with disability on functionality, obedience and learning skills, according to their diverse needs and enhance their psychomotor, communication and socialization skills using the CBEP modules by trained facilitators. This will help increase the number of CWDs in school. & education is 1 of the most effective ways to break the cycle of discrimination and poverty.
