Challenge

Poor inadequate geographical distribution of primary schools, inaccessible roads, and the lack of safe transportation completely deprives it from the chance of education and discourages parents from enrolling their children. Extreme conditions of poverty lead to working children with the families relying on them to increase the private household income especially agricultural villages. Egypt has an alarming rate of 6.5% of children between the ages of 6-14 not having access to education.

Solution

MEK provides high-quality UNESCO winning one-classroom model for dropouts ages (6-14 years old) due to remote distances from government schools by building 4 new community schools in Aswan poorest villages; provide an appropriate learning environment,equipping schools with technological devices and school supplies, train and enable local community to manage the school through committees, upgrade efficiency of facilitators(teachers), provide sports, arts , and music extracurricular activities.

Long-Term Impact

Provide 2nd chance opportunities to drop-outs to return to education Enroll girls and reduce gender gap in education between males and females and alleviate resistance to customs and traditions that limit girls to acquire an education Enrollment of Sudanese refugees in the schools Increasing community involvement and support for Community Education Improving learning outcomes for120 students per year (30 per school) Promoting arts, music, and sports for children who never practised before
