Our education strategy for 2008–2011 focuses on five key areas of work:
• Participatory and inclusive school systems
• Education resourcing
• Children out of school because of poverty, discrimination or emergencies
• Improving quality learning experiences for children
• Capacity building of country programmes
Save the Children has also adopted a strategic priority on ‘education in humanitarian crises’: so that children caught up in humanitarian crises can expect to get a basic education and education is established as a fundamental part of emergency response. No other UK or European NGO supports as much education work in both emergency and development settings. We are known for our strong programming work informed by the views and experiences of children themselves and through children speaking from their own experiences.
DFID’s Bilateral Aid Review has indicated potential new opportunities which are relevant to our ambitious plans to expand the scale of our education work across five key areas, and in particular to support education in conflict affected fragile states. To enable us to maximise our success against these opportunities, Save the Children will deploy an advisor with relevant technical specialism to support countries in designing programmes that will deliver a step-change in the reach and impact of education programmes, particularly in crisis affected settings.
