African Future Development: Quality Education Programme in the DRC
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 393,662 to African Future Development for work in Democratic Republic of the Congo, dated 25 November 2015.
Overview
Many rural primary schools in the DRC are very poorly equipped and run; resulting in high dropout rates for children and poor results in examinations. Parental involvement is minimal, and Government priorities lie elsewhere.The overall aim of the project is to improve access and retention of rural children, and sustain education provision in 24 primary schools in Southern DR Congo by 2020 by promoting effective teaching and learning, achieving meaningful participation of children, teachers, parents and their communities in developing and implementing school improvement plans. Special attention will be paid to girls' retention in school and accessibility for pupils from minority groups and those with disabilities.
