Transforming Education for Adults and Children in the Hinterland (TEACH)
Name: Transforming Education for Adults and Children in the Hinterland (TEACH) TEACH is a comprehensive USAID-funded alternative basic education project that seeks to meet the needs of unreached peripheral communities by using flexible approaches to education. TEACH advocates that education can be delivered, not only through the provision of educational services to children, but through three mutually reinforcing pillars of capacity building—educating children, educating parents and community members with adult literacy, and enhancing the capacity of the government's Woreda education offices. TEACH also implements WORTH, an innovative Pact model for linking women's empowerment with literacy, savings, credit and livelihoods. TEACH has already built over 500 Alternative Basic Education Centers and enrolled over 100,000 primary school students. Over the life of the project TEACH project will reach 275,000 children as well as 220,000 adults. TEACH will also build the capacities of 800 government personnel in over 200 district education offices. TEACH is being implemented in eight states, including Afar, Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Oromia, SNNPR, Somali, and Tigray. PartnersStaff contacts
