Education is the right of every child. It empowers children to thrive. It helps promote greater civic engagement and peaceful communities. It is the most effective investment against child poverty and one of the best economic investments a country can make. This is why every child should be in school. Every child must have access to quality education, so they can fulfill their potential. In the State of Palestine, very few children of primary school age are excluded from education, but nearly five per cent of 10-15-year-old children and one out of three 6-9 year-olds with disabilities are out of school. The aim of this study is to identify who these excluded children are, where they live, and to understand why they are not in school.
Based on a global initiative led by UNICEF and UNESCO’s Institute for Statistics, it aims at providing a more in-depth analysis, using a unique conceptual and methodological framework to develop comprehensive profiles of out-of-school children and link them to the barriers and bottlenecks that led to school drop-out. It takes into consideration a variety of factors such as socio-economic factors, the quality of education, and the influence of the environment, the community and the school. This study aims not only at understanding what barriers and bottlenecks prevent access to school, but also at taking action about it. Based on research findings, it proposes practical ways of removing these barriers to get children back to school, and to keep the children who are at risk of dropping out in school. By promoting and implementing sound policies that address exclusion, we can make a substantial and sustainable reduction in the number of out of school children.

Elimu ni haki ya kila mtoto. Inawapa watoto nguvu za kusitawi. Inasaidia kukuza ushiriki mkubwa wa kiraia na jamii zenye amani. Ni uwekezaji bora zaidi dhidi ya umaskini wa watoto na moja ya uwekezaji bora wa kiuchumi nchi inaweza kufanya. Hii ndiyo sababu kila mtoto anapaswa kuwa shuleni. Kila mtoto lazima apate elimu ya ubora ili aweze kutimiza uwezo wake. Katika Jimbo la Palestina, watoto wachache sana wa umri wa shule ya msingi ni kutengwa na elimu, lakini karibu asilimia tano ya watoto wa miaka 10-15 na mmoja kati ya watatu wa miaka 6-9 wenye ulemavu ni nje ya shule. Lengo la utafiti huu ni kutambua ni nani watoto hawa waliotengwa, wanaishi wapi, na kuelewa ni kwa nini hawaendi shuleni. Kwa kuzingatia mpango wa kimataifa ulioongozwa na UNICEF na Taasisi ya Takwimu ya UNESCO, lengo ni kutoa uchambuzi wa kina zaidi, kwa kutumia mfumo wa kipekee wa dhana na mbinu ya kuendeleza maelezo ya kina ya watoto wasio na shule na kuunganisha na vizuizi na vikwazo ambavyo viliongoza kwa kuacha shule. Inazingatia mambo mbalimbali kama vile mambo ya kijamii na kiuchumi, ubora wa elimu, na ushawishi wa mazingira, jamii na shule. Utafiti huu unakusudia sio tu kuelewa ni vizuizi gani na vizuizi vinavyozuia upatikanaji wa shule, lakini pia kuchukua hatua kuhusu hilo. Kwa kuzingatia matokeo ya utafiti, inapendekeza njia za vitendo za kuondoa vizuizi hivi ili kupata watoto kurudi shuleni, na kuweka watoto ambao wako katika hatari ya kuacha shule. Kwa kukuza na kutekeleza sera sahihi zinazoshughulikia kutengwa, tunaweza kufanya kupunguzwa kwa kiasi kikubwa na endelevu katika idadi ya watoto wasio shuleni. Año de publicación: Tipo de recurso:
