Student Educational Support Program-SESP

The Scholarship Programme for Teachers aimed to enhance the capacity of public school teachers by providing financial support to complete their higher education, thereby, enabling them to learn modern teaching methods. SSEOA facilitated the enrollment of 180 public school teachers in universities, where they graduated from various faculties, including Geography, History, Math, and Islamic Studies, after two years. This project, implemented in Kapisa and Kabul, was successfully completed, significantly improving the educational qualifications and teaching skills of the participating teachers. The SESP project was designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of girls in grades X-XII in high schools across several subjects including the following: Mathematics: Basic arithmetic to advanced algebra. English: A one-year English language course using five books of the IRC system (Active 1 and Intercom 1-2). Computer: Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Based on survey reports and student requirements, one of the three subjects was taught by 28 qualified teachers/instructors (16 males and 12 females) recruited by SSEOA at school premises. The project targeted 1,600 girls enrolled in these classes across Kabul, Nangarhar, Kunar, Laghman, Parwan, and Kapisa provinces. This intervention was funded by the Central Asia Institute (CAI).
