Education

SIOC-CDT believes that education is the cornerstone of community empowerment and personal development.

The focused education, training and skills development initiatives are designed to confront and overcome identified challenges faced by our beneficiary communities. From nurturing the minds of our youngest in quality early childhood development centres to enhancing adult literacy and computer proficiency, we seek to actively bridge educational gaps.

Our commitment extends to elevating school education standards and broadening access for disabled children and the youth, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

The portfolio aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal of:

• SDG 4 – good education.

The focal areas aim to:

• Improve school readiness for all boys and girls through early childhood development.
• Ensure access to education and assist completion for all boys and girls.
• Improve equal access to vocational training for all women and men.
• Substantially increase the number of youths and adults with digital skills.
• Build and upgrade basic infrastructure for schooling.
• Substantially expand opportunities to higher education.
• Substantially increase supply of suitably qualified teachers and school leaders.
