Promoting Quality Education in Flood Affected Areas
CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY GIRLS AGED 2-12 HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION WITH IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Dubai Cares is a philanthropic organization working to improve children's access to quality primary education in developing countries. Launched in September 2007 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai Cares expresses the UAE's commitment to achieving, by 2015, United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UN MDG) 2 and 3 - namely, to guarantee universal primary education and to promote gender equality, respectively. Dubai Cares is also helping to forge a global partnership for development, as represented by UN MDG 8.
Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) - the centre for education and consciousness, is a national level registered and tax exempted NGO certified by Pakistan Centre of Philathropy (PCP). ITA's primary focus is comprehensive education reform beginning with public sector schools which are in a state of decay and degeneration. It also works with other sectors of basic education in non-formal and literacy programs for the disadvantaged groups such as child labor, destitute, women and youth.
Pakistan classified as middle-income country suffers from high level of poverty and vulnerability with a wide gap in income distribution between the rich and the poor. Access to education and quality education remains a challenge for the poorest quintile groups particularly amongst girls in Pakistan. In rural areas 71% children are enrolled in government schools (ASER 2010) usually from the poorest families. The number, location of schools and teachers needed is far less than what is required at all levels of the system.
In partnership with Dubai Cares, Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aaghai is implementing in flood affected areas a holistic program to improve primary education of girls and disadvantaged children titled as; “CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY GIRLS AGED 2-12 HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION WITH IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT”. It covers three districts of southern Punjab and one district of Sindh.
The project aims to improve access of girls and extremely disadvantaged children to quality primary education. Community and education department is also engaged in the implementation of this project. The relevance of this project is enhanced due to the emergency response needs in the wake of the flood that hit Pakistan in July 2010. Its aftermath has led to major education dislocation and destruction particularly affecting the poorest children in Punjab and Sindh. Informed by the evidence from ASER (2010) low performing districts of Pakistan were selected for the project.
The three linked components being proposed for support focus on sustained access, quality and gender equity through processes of local governance, alignments to government sector plans, underpinned by the urgency for life skills in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in Pakistan. The project is made up of high impact educational inputs in both the immediate and longer term for an intensive and strategic initiative to lead the policy and sector reforms.
