Accelerated Secondary Education for Women
- P Project/Program
? Activity Status: Unknown
Key Information
An accelerated secondary school programme is a recognised way for young people to achieve a secondary school certificate without undertaking four years of full-time study. The adapted course is offered part-time, with classes only taking up two or three hours a day. This allows women to earn an income and fulfil any family and household obligations alongside their studies. Teachers are trained as adult educators with a more flexible approach to teaching and learning. Learners have the opportunity to attend classes as well as small tutorial sessions. They also have access to learning materials and books for self-study. Moreover, they receive intensive one to one support from their teachers when they need it. At the end of two years, these women have the opportunity to sit their exams and gain their certificate of secondary education.
