  • P Project/Program

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

This program enhanced the quality and inclusiveness of education in the Oromiya region of Ethiopia by strengthening teaching practices, improving early-grade literacy, and increasing access to safe and supportive learning environments. It supported teacher training and pedagogical reform to promote more student-centered approaches, addressed resource gaps through the provision of learning materials, and worked with schools to reduce absenteeism and improve classroom engagement. The program also aimed to improve foundational reading skills to reduce repetition and dropout rates and support students’ progression through primary education.

In addition, the initiative promoted gender-responsive and disability-inclusive education by addressing barriers that limited girls’ and children with disabilities’ access to and retention in school. It supported safer school environments, improved water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities, and strengthened inclusive education practices to ensure children with diverse needs could participate fully in learning. Through these combined efforts, the program sought to improve learning outcomes and foster a more equitable education system in the region.
