Education - Ensuring all children learn from a quality basic education

Education can help children break free from poverty, challenge gender and cultural expectations, and contribute to building stronger communities. Save the Children works hard to ensure all girls and boys have access to quality education because we know it can change lives.

Save the Children runs programs around the world dedicated to helping girls and boys access an education. Whether it's in a remote part of the world, in a refugee camp or right after a disaster, we make sure children can continue to learn in a safe and positive environment.

Our key approaches focus on ensuring young children gain strong literacy and numeracy skills. We establish and strengthen early childhood education, because those early years can impact how a child learns and develops in the future. We also train teachers and offer support and professional development to ensure children receive the best education possible.
