CRSD in Partnership with the Borno State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, and the State Agency for Mass Education Launches Nonformal Education for 300 Out-of-school Children
Research is only as powerful as the action it inspires. Following the critical findings from our recent comprehensive assessment on the educational disruption and vulnerabilities of out-of-school and street-connected children in Borno State, the Community Resilience and Sustainable Development Initiative (CRSD) is moving swiftly from evidence to intervention. In a strategic, high-impact collaboration with the Borno State Ministry of Education (MoE) and the State Agency for Mass Education (SAME), CRSD has officially commenced non-formal education classes aimed at rescuing vulnerable children from the streets and reintegrating them into the learning ecosystem.
The research clearly identified specific hotspots with the highest concentrations of out-of-school children (OOSC) and severe educational deficits. In direct response, this intervention is being rolled out across three highly vulnerable locations:
- Hajj Camp
- Bulabulin Diyabe
- Dala Lawanti
Through this joint initiative, we are targeting 300 out-of-school children, providing them with immediate access to a safe, structured, and nurturing non-formal learning environment.
However, this non-formal education program is not just a temporary fix; it is a critical bridge. The curriculum is carefully designed to accelerate their foundational literacy and numeracy while also integrating vital psychosocial support to help them heal from conflict-induced trauma.
The true success of this project lies in its exit strategy. The ultimate objective is to successfully assess, prepare, and mainstream these 300 children into the formal education system. By equipping them with the necessary academic foundations and psychological readiness, we are ensuring a smooth transition into mainstream government schools, where they can continue their educational journey with long-term support. This rapid response would not be possible without the unwavering commitment of our government partners. By aligning CRSD’s grassroots research and community mobilization with the statutory mandates and structural support of the Borno State Ministry of Education and SAME, we are ensuring that our interventions are sustainable, government-backed, and deeply impactful. By leveraging data to drive action, CRSD is ensuring that the systemic invisibility of these children is replaced with visible, life-changing opportunities.
We are not just teaching them; we are restoring their futures.
