Access to Basic, Formal and Alternative Education for all.

Due to the volatile and insecure context of Somalia, many children who do access education have experienced various forms of trauma. Teachers are rarely equipped to identify children showing signs of trauma and are therefore not able to support the children appropriately. In a context like Somalia where teachers are under qualified, classrooms are overcrowded, and materials and facilities are scarce, teachers are often using verbal or physical punishment of children to maintain control of the classroom. This behavior affects children negatively and hampers their learning outcome and well-being.

Provide safe and Equitable Access to Education.

To better understand what school children need and want, and to enhance the accountability of the Education actors to the children they are targeting, it is crucial to ensure the voices of the children are being collected and heard.

Our Education programme aims to focus on the following key recommendations:

• Construction/rehabilitations of schools, classrooms,fences as well as segregated latrines and sanitary facilities in schools
• Provision of hygiene promotion and hygiene kits for adolescent girls.
• Establish feeding centers or food rations to keep students engaged.
• Establish of child clubs to increase hygiene promotion.
• Set up fully functional recreational facilities in schools
