Teach and Educate Adolescent Girls with Community Help (TEACH)

  • P Project/Program

A Active

Key Information

IRC’s TEACH Project will support up to 35,000 out-of-school girls in Pakistan’s Balochistan Province. Dependent on age, the girls will enrol in one of two pathways: an Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) and transition to formal or non-formal education for younger girls; or a more employment skills-based approach for the older girls. The older girls would then transition into vocational training, employment or self-employment. The project also intends to address harmful social norms and the barriers faced by girls in accessing education with the engagement of girls in all activities at family, community, school and system levels.
