Abstract

This programme proposes investing £20.5m to offer emergency support to mitigate the immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education. This will be particularly important for the most marginalised children, including girls and children affected by crisis, who are at risk of dropping out of school entirely due to the pandemic. The investment will support three components. 1. targeted back to school outreach to the most marginalised girls 2. support to countries to develop Accelerated Education Programmes for disadvantaged children whose education has been interrupted by COVID-19 and 3. support for teachers in refugee areas to provide essential education and community outreach where there is extreme need.
