Haiti - Education : $10M aid to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on education 02/04/2020 10:05:33
Faced with the unprecedented challenge, the GPE had to act, underlined Serigne Mbaye Thiam, Vice-president of the board of directors of the SME "These funds will allow developing countries to act quickly to mitigate the negative impact of Covid-19 on the most vulnerable children and strengthen the resilience of their education systems." The financing of the GPE of $10 million will be available immediately to face the health crisis which affects education and support the response plan of the Ministry of National Education compared to Covid-19 by responding to urgent needs and long-term. This includes ensuring continued learning, in particular through educational radio and television programs, the supply of teaching materials and assistance to teachers. "We are taking steps to mitigate the effects of school closings on the learning of the most vulnerable children in developing countries," said Alice Albright, Director General of the GPE. "The institution is committed to ensuring that learning can continue and to ensure that each child continues to receive the education he needs." The news was welcomed by officials from the Ministry of National Education who have already made arrangements to follow up on this matter. UNICEF, Agent-partner in the context of accelerated financing from the GPE, has already started work with the Working Group formed by the Minister Cadet https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-30041-haiti-education-meeting-of-the-follow-up-committee-of-the-accelerated-financing-of-the-global-partnership-for-education.html for the coordination and management of the Ministry Response Plan to Covid-19. This group includes representatives from the Minister's office, general management and the technical departments concerned. The five main areas of intervention under the Plan have already been identified and the request for funding will be submitted to the GPE shortly by the agent-partner. Recall that a mission of the GPE stayed in Haiti, about a month ago https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-30211-haiti-education-a-delegation-of-the-global-partnership-for-education-on-mission-in-the-country.html provided an opportunity to take stock of Ministry-GPE cooperation with regard to the development of the Ten-year Education and Training Plan (PDEF).
