Strategic Framework
• Strengthen inclusion programs. Improving the mechanisms for
mapping, profiling, and tracking of learners and school-aged
children will ensure that learners with special needs, indigenous
peoples, and out-of-school children and youth are provided with
the appropriate educational interventions. Intensifying and
expanding the ALS will enable those not reached by the formal
system to complete basic education or acquire lifelong
learning. Education inputs should also focus on areas with poor
education performance – targeting the needs of hard-to-reach
and vulnerable learners (such as street children, indigenous
peoples, PWDs, children-in-conflict with the law [CICL], and
children in conflict areas).
