PALM Corps > Key sectors > Education and Protection

Education sector

Our focus in this sector is increasing access to safe, equitable, inclusive, and quality education for all at ECD, primary and secondary levels. We increase access by supporting communities to address barriers to education for all children, most especially the girl child and Children with Disabilities (CwD).

Our specific Objective in the education sector is to increase access to safe, equitable, inclusive, and quality education for all.

Our approaches to Education and Protection

We employ school club approaches (environment, agriculture, health, debating & GEM) to promote sexual reproductive health, life-skills and learning of agriculture and environmental management. Furthermore, we build capacity of governance structures, promote positive parenting and participation in school activities as a strategy to improve efficiency and effectiveness of education services, support schools to develop and implement school improvement plans to create favorable environment for learning. PALM has successfully implemented parent- led school feeding projects in the communities. We coordinate continuous professional development training in collaboration with the district education department and peer to peer learning to improve quality teaching.
