Promoting quality & inclusive education
VSO Nepal Education Programme
Major Changes•3 districts to 6 districts •2 clusters to 1 cluster (in each district)•2 management volunteers to 1 education management volunteer with revised job description (in each district)•2 ECD volunteers to 1 ECD volunteer (in each district) but number will depend on external funding•2 primary/basic education volunteers to 1 basic/primary education volunteer (in each district)
•Implementing partners in 3 districts (Kaski, Kailali & Rupandehi) working in 12 schools, but volunteers in these districts will work in at least 6 schools• Focus more on quality education and less focus on access
•Implementing partners will support Baglung, Myagdi & Surkhet on request and based on their availability•PPP pilot in Kaski and Kailali
•Cross programming with livelihood and health–Cross program need:
»Schools lack hygienic environment»Poor awareness of students on health, hygiene and nutrition»Poor health status of students»Most of school going children do not meet the Recommended Daily Allowance
•Gender as a key priority –Need to strengthen the position of girls and female teachers/managers:
»Through school based support»Through non school based advocacy support (increase women’s participation in school management level, targeted scholarship approach to reach needy girls instead of all)
