Education

All children, particularly girls from poor and disadvantaged households, have the right to an inclusive and high-quality education from pre-primary through secondary school. However, reality reflects unequal access to Early Childhood Education; low learning results in the early grades, which leads to learning impairments; discriminatory social norms, gender-stereotyped curriculum, and a lack of an inclusive, safe atmosphere within schools. Seva NGO has taken a multipronged strategy to address these challenges and ensure that all children, particularly vulnerable girls from excluded areas, achieve their entitlement to an inclusive and excellent education.

• Increase technical capability and early childhood education funding.
• Improve capability for providing on-site support to teachers and school administration.
• Pilot social innovations in gender-sensitive curriculum and pedagogy both in and out of the classroom.
• Improve technical skills in mobilizing and promoting education among females (who have dropped out, are irregularly enrolled, or have never enrolled).
• Creating gender-sensitive Child Protection and SRH program convergence models.
• Persuade governments and donors to spend more in girls’ education.
