Join the International Rescue Committee and the Afghan people in our efforts to support these goals:
1) Safe & Sound Schools
- Free, open and inclusive access to protected schools that are close to homes for all children, especially girls and students with disabilities
- Schools that are well-equipped with supplies and a solid academic curriculum, using IRC’s Healing Classroom model that fosters a child’s well-being through play, recreation, arts and green spaces
2) Involved & Invested Communities
- Parents, religious leaders and elders who see the value in educating children, and are active in encouraging future school and career options for youth, especially girls
- Parent-Teacher Associations or networks that support school community leaders, insist on standards and help them to invest in their children’s rights and futures
3) Trained & Trusted Teachers
- Competent and motivated teachers who are paid a decent, regular salary and receive ongoing professional support, training and development
- Opportunities for women teachers to reclaim their place in the classroom and act as positive role models for girls
