COVID-19 Education Response Project

closed

Chad, as all countries around the world, has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The education sector has been particularly hard hit with all teaching institutions closed and more than 3 million students from preschool to higher education forced out of the school. This might have negative long-term effect not only on the education sector but on Chad's economy through a reduction of its human capital. This project's objective is to mitigate this impact and provide the education system with a robust distance learning system that will allow learning continuity for all under all circumstances. The Project will include the following three components: (1) Ensuring learning continuity by expanding distance learning opportunities for primary and lower secondary students in Project targeted regions ; (2) Preparing the safe reopening of schools in Project targeted regions; and (3) Building a resilient education sector and supporting Project oversight.
