ABOUT US
We aim to identify and find ways of reducing inequalities in access to education and schooling between different social groups defined by socio-economic status, locality, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability and age. These inequalities increase the number of out of school children and serve as a barrier to low- and middle-income countries meeting international targets in education. We have introduced AESRA (Attract, Enroll, Support, Retain, Achieve) model in order to examine the possibilities of minimising the number of out of school children and maximising the retention rate. We attempt to find out:
- What is happening in the process (policy, administration, delivery) of AESRA?
- What are the roles of different agencies/ departments engaged in AESRA and what can be done to strengthen them?
- What are the views of key stakeholders of AESRA?
- What policy measures are suitable to achieve the goals of AESRA in a particular geographical area?
Our vision is evidence-based policy leads to better and informed decision marking. We sincerely observe and strongly believe in research ethics in social sciences and humanities
