Children's education is essential, but the fight for the right to education is aimed more globally at those who are often left out of the learning process. Thus, our association works for the education of girls and women, people with disabilities, early childhood and even adults.

More than ever, we must act. This is the conviction that drives us at Action Education (formerly Aide et Action).

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND

Without education, no human, social, health or economic development is possible. Yet education is the best weapon in the fight against poverty.

Since the VCT-19 pandemic, 1.6 billion children worldwide have been out of school. This exclusion from education persists today and jeopardises efforts to provide education for all. quality education to all and sundry throughout the world.

More than ever, we must act. This is the conviction that drives us at Action Education (formerly Aide et Action).

❌📢In some parts of the world, many schools do not have access to electricity. This situation can prevent students from learning in optimal conditions. However, to study well, you need good lighting! Discover through the following video the Enlightened Schools (EECREQ) project of Action Education in partnership with AFD. A project that aims to improve learning conditions in some schools in Burkina-Faso and Benin through the electrification of classrooms and the distribution of solar energy lamps to students. 💡1TP9Lighted schools #lumiére #educationispower #EECREQ #ActionEducation #AfD #Benin #Burkina #LampeSolaire #électricité #educationforall

"Before the school was equipped (electricity), the pass rate in the primary assessment was only 23%. But a few months later, it is almost 60%, which has changed everything! The children can now stay after school in the evening to revise and the communities that can meet here to discuss are much more involved in education", Aminou Youchahou, headmaster of the Ahovo school (Benin).In West Africa, 9 out of 10 schools are without electricity. On the occasion of the World Day of Light, Action Education would like to remind the importance of electricity in the quality of education, as a school without electricity means degraded teaching conditions, children who cannot read or write when night falls and shortened school days. Aware of this issue, Action Education has set up several projects including EECREQ (Ecole Eclairée, Centre de Ressources pour une Éducation de Qualité) which has allowed the electrification of nearly 120 schools and the distribution of solar lamps to students.More information 👉 (link in bio)#EECREQ 1TP9Electrification 1TP9Education for All 1TP9Light day
