  • Level of education (primary, lower secondary, upper secondary).

Limitations and precautions

  • Tdh counts here the children who have returned to school thanks to the intervention of Tdh and the children who take part in training sessions (in learning spaces, RIF, etc.), thanks to Tdh. Please note that we do not count all children who go to school!

  • Reintegration into formal education is the goal of a learning space, and transition to formal schooling should be measured in addition to enrolment into the learning space.

What further analysis are we interested in?

  • As per intervention strategy, Tdh aims to strengthen is rights-based approach and document here access to right to education for CYM (CRC art.28 and 29).

  • What kind of discrimination CYM face compared to other children?

  • Do they manage to get certification after their enrolment? Is there a high drop-out rate?

  • Have these education activities been set up in context of emergency?
