Access to education is not the same as simply “going to school” – minimum levels of infrastructure and a child-friendly environment are fundamental requirements if children are to experience a complete education. Gender sensitivity, an interactive pedagogy and opportunities for children to enhance the development of their social and emotional life skills are also critical. These factors are prerequisites for quality education, and to narrow the gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” and create an equitable society.

GAN believes that children are not only the future of the country, but that they are also active citizens in the present, and the way in which real and lasting change must come about.
