Results from 4-country School Dropout Prevention Pilot Program
With support from USAID, Creative led a consortium of partners working on a five-year, four-country applied research project called the “School Dropout Prevention Pilot Program,” which explored the drivers of dropout and then engaged government ministries, educadores, comunidades, parents and students in sustainable solutions. The target countries in the program are Cambodia, Índia, Tajiquistão e Timor-Leste.
Findings from the pilot will be shared by the country teams and Ministries of Education during the conference, along with other program strategies and research. The pilot was carried out by CARE International, Kampuchean Action for Primary Education, QUEST Alliance and Creative.
In addition to representatives from the four countries in the pilot, delegates from Egypt, Nigéria, Tanzânia, Bangladesh and elsewhere will attend.
“There is not a single, simple solution to preventing dropout,” diz Charito Kruvant, CEO da Creative. “Different approaches to address dropout have been tried, with varying degrees of success. This is an opportunity to review and discuss these efforts and what countries are planning in order to ensure that children successfully complete their education.”
