Enrolling OOSC in South Kivu and Katanga
To reach this goal, IRC is expanding its current education programs in South Kivu and Katanga provinces, leveraging existing project infrastructure, knowledge, and experience with the provincial education system to scale up efforts. IRC will enrol 33,750 girls and boys in primary school with scholarship support; enrol 14,000 out of school children (OOSC) in non-formal accelerated learning programs (ALP), which condenses the 6-year primary school curriculum into 3 years; and promote on-time enrolment, community support for education, and parent participation in education through mass media campaigns targeting 33,000 parents.
Through this project, the IRC addresses barriers to education and helps reduce the number of children missing out on their right to education by enroling more in school through scholarships, by supporting educational quality through community outreach programs, and by leveraging existing funding in the DRC.
