CHILD EDUCATION

Providing underprivileged females with great education and leadership opportunities

Raah-e- Najaat's Women Education Program (WEP) has been working for 15 years (14 times prior to registration) to guarantee excellent primary education for children, particularly females and those from underprivileged areas, in order to assist them become future leaders and changemakers. We consider education as a critical instrument for girls to reach their full potential by developing critical skills and dispositions that set them on the path to social and economic empowerment. Our programmes and initiatives function by creating inclusive, gender-conscious, and safe learning environments for all. Our educational endeavors are guided by the Right to Education Act (2009) and the National Education Policy 2020.

Education System

Education systems are intricate. Alignment among families, educators, and decision makers is required to enroll and educate all children. It necessitates common goals and national policies that priorities learning. It also necessitates data gathering and regular monitoring to assist policymakers in determining what works, who benefits, and who falls behind. Education systems that are strong are inclusive and gender equitable. They promote early learning and multilingual education, as well as innovative approaches to reaching the most disadvantaged children and adolescents.

Innovation in education means solving a real problem in a new, simple way to promote equitable learning.

Education innovation scales the answer to the magnitude of the difficulty. It leverages on community ingenuity and expertise, such as a WEP program that enables local mothers and grandparents to support early childhood education, to guarantee that choices are made by people who will be most affected by their consequences. Many educators and community members are already at work as innovators. Raah-e-Najaat works with partners to uncover, foster, and grow promising solutions that contribute to the realization of every child's right to learn.

Addressing the Learning Loss of Children During Covid-19

In the aftermath of school closures in covid-19, ensuring continuous learning for children in isolated and rural areas with low penetration of online education. Raah-e-Najaat began a multi-pronged initiative to enable sustained learning for children living in locations with limited internet penetration in four states to mitigate the learning loss of children due to extended school closures during covid-19. The initiative included providing easy access to relevant learning materials and guides for children living in areas with low internet penetration, establishing accessible and safe community centres and libraries, reopening schools in a safe manner, preparing teachers to address learning and psycho-social needs, and developing the capacity of community representatives to turn them into local champions.
