Following our interview with Annita Suzanne TRAORÉ, Director of Non-Formal Education at Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Education and Literacy – detailing the ins and outs of the “bridging classes” strategy – we now present a video recorded in cocoa-producing communities. It highlights the “human” side of this initiative. You’ll meet students and those involved in the Child Learning and Education Facility (CLEF) program. Each demonstrates enthusiasm for the new teaching techniques which are now bearing fruit.
CLEF is a commitment to:
- get more children into school.
- make sure children learn at school.
- Achieve impact at scale; we want to make a difference in the lives of more than 4 million children by 2027.
CLEF funds school infrastructure and childcare facilities, supports teacher training in evidence-based pedagogical techniques, promotes behavior change so parents engage in their children’s education and apply good parenting practices to boost early childhood development, and tests a cutting-edge school nutrition program.
CLEF welcomes new partners: contact us to learn more about the initiative and to get involved.
