4 Quality Education

- Parenthood and Child Development

Light for All works closely with the local government units to organize and conduct a series of consultative focus group discussions with groups of women in different communities to identify the topics of interest in parenthood and child development.

This is followed by a series of sessions to women to introduce them to the best practices of parenthood and important facts about child development. More than 40 women have attended these sessions since started in 2019. Twenty trainers participated in planning and conducting the sessions.

- Preparing Qualified Teachers

As teachers are one of the most influential and powerful forces for equity, access, and quality in education, supported and qualified teachers are one of our priorities. Through reinforcing SDG 4 (quality education), which has a target calling for a substantial increase in qualified teachers, we contribute to teachers and educators being empowered, adequately recruited, well-trained, professionally qualified, motivated, and supported. We provide courses on ICT skills, soft skills, and 7 habits of leadership and provide access to high-quality education.
