Description

Less than a third of students finish primary school in Haiti, which stands out as an unfortunate outlier in a region that has reached almost universal levels of primary school coverage. In addition to the lack of quality, free education, education is still conducted in French, a language spoken fluently by very few Haitians, and curricula are not tailored to local needs. IAF grantee anseye pou Ayiti (APA) is addressing these issues by creating a network of parents, teachers, and school leaders in the central plateau and Artibonite regions committed to a vision of Haitian education that is focused on Haitian history, culture, language, and identity. By investing in local leadership, APA prepares educators and students, WHO know their schools and communities best, to address their assets and needs sustainably.
