Eritrea National Strategy and Implementation Framework for Out-of-School Children
Eritrea Ministry of Education
Highlights
The National Strategy on out-of-school children (OOSC) is a holistic framework that reflects the commitment of the Eritrean Government to help children who have never been to school or have dropped out due to different barriers. It articulates the principles, strategic objectives, actions, coordination mechanisms, and resources that will ensure effective implementation of the recommended strategies that support OOSC to get educational opportunities.
The key strategic focus areas are: an improved policy and legal environment to promote children’s right to education; improved access to quality education, changing negative social norms (such as underage marriage, disability bias…etc.) that hamper children from schooling, as well as coordination, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for the effective implementation of the strategy.
