The aim of the project is to improve the quality of education at the 6 selected schools in Balkh province in northern Afghanistan. Currently, 5,008 girls and 6,448 boys are being educated by 295 teachers at the project schools. The measures include construction projects and capacity building: existing buildings, equipment and hygienic sanitary facilities are to be replaced and renovated. This is complemented by WASH workshops, various training courses and set up of mental health centers.
Despite progress in the areas of overall literacy and enrollment rates, government schools in Balkh continue to lack capacity. School leaders often struggle to manage schools effectively, leading to inadequate maintenance, a lack of IT infrastructure and inefficient administration. Many schools do not have trained specialists for repairs, and teachers are often not sufficiently trained to provide a varied teaching approach or emotional support for students.
Over the next two years, we will be actively working with our local partners to give children - and girls in particular - access to a high-quality and fair education at the 6 schools. The measures for better educational infrastructure and targeted capacity development will help to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to receive a sustainable education - also in line with SDG 4 of the 2030 Agenda
By combining infrastructure and capacity building measures, we want to guarantee the sustainability of our work and that of OASE and ensure high-quality and needs-oriented learning in the long term. A well-equipped school, well-trained and motivated teachers and professional school management are essential for providing high-quality education.
