Our approach
Action Education mobilises to restore the right to quality education for all, this is particularly true for the most vulnerable and marginalised populations (people living in extreme poverty, not attending school or at risk of dropping out, migration, exclusion, disability, crises, etc.).
In particular, we focus our actions on those populations most at risk of inequality and discrimination, namely children, girls and women.

Our story
Because access to quality education helps to fight poverty and disease, limit climate change and build peace in a sustainable world, we promote lifelong learning. We therefore pay particular attention to early childhood care and education, access to and quality of education at primary and secondary levels, and vocational training and social inclusion.
