EDUCATE A CHILD INITIATIVE

AMAR was selected as one of three UNESCO implementing partners for the Educate a Child initiative, which aims to enrol 8,500 out-of-school children into the mainstream education system in Baghdad and Basra Governates. By the end of 2013, AMAR had identified and set up classes in 50 schools, enrolled the first 2,538 children, and recruited and trained 2 master trainers and 178 teachers. AMAR also organised field visits for the children and carried out four workshops and multiple community mobilisation activities to win the understanding and support of families for their children's education.
