Access and Quality Education

There is increased evidence of the role of early education in the acquisition of learning skills and in the child's cognitive and socio-emotional development. Children who do not achieve basic foundation skills for learning will expose to high risk of dropping out of school, repeating in early grades, or incomprehensive development. However, access to quality education continues to be a challenge in remote and isolated areas where poor, vulnerable and ethnic minority families are predominantly located due to the following main reasons:
- Inadequate teachers’ capability
- Poor condition of school infrastructure and facilities
- Language barriers for ethnic minority children
- Children lack social knowledge and learning skills
- Lack of parents’ engagement in education
- Limited voice and participation of parents and children at schools
