Education

Despite commitments made by governments to provide free primary education for all boys and girls by 2015, more than 5 million children in Southeast Asia and the Pacific do not attend school.

 

Most of these children are from poor and migrant families, ethnic minority groups, or live and work in marginalised urban and rural communities. Some have been displaced or affected by natural disasters and armed conflict. Some have disabilities. Others are living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Insufficient funding allocated to education further delays the delivery of quality education to all children.

 

Our work

Guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 (UNCRC), as well as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, Save the Children Sweden works with partners, civil society and governments to ensure that all girls and boys have fulfilled their rights to good quality education in schools and other learning environments that are free from physical and humiliating punishment. A child-friendly learning environment is safe and protective. It fosters children’s emotional, psychological and physical well-being.

 

Our work focuses on promoting rights-based inclusive education, raising awareness on children’s rights and creating opportunities for children to exercise their rights. We also aim to influence policies that support children’s health, safety, and learning.
