Evaluation of All Children in Education programme
Overview
With the refugee and migrant crisis in Europe during 2015/2016, Greece, became one of the primary entry points to Europe migrants. Recognizing the additional needs in the country, the Ministry of Education, launched in 2016 a refugee education programme. Yet, despite the measures in place, significant gaps remained. An assessment carried out by the Education Sector Working Group, led by UNICEF, found that only 42% (13,800) of refugee and migrant children were enrolled in Greek public schools. Given the wide range of needs and gaps, the Government of Greece and UNICEF, with the support of EU DG Home, decided to launch in September 2021 a 2-year programme (Sept 2021 – Aug 2023) that got extended to an additional year (Sept 2023-Jun 2024) which is focused on refugee and migrant children’s education. This programme is supported by two MoUs signed by UNICEF and the Ministries of Education, and Migration and Asylum outlining the joint cooperation.
Within this framework, the ACE programme aims to respond to the needs through a comprehensive approach, summarized in the below objectives. Objective 1 - Support school-readiness and facilitate access to education for all refugee and migrant children through the establishment of Homework and Creative Activities Centres. Objective 2 - Improve transition and build bridges for a successful integration to school though strengthening of the enabling environment, including teacher’s capacity building, communication with families, sensitisation of communities, and monitoring of access and attendance. Based on the above, the evaluation has two main purposes: accountability and learning. The evaluation will provide to the duty bearers i.e. the Government, the donor (vertical accountability), and to the relevant partners as well as to the right holders population groups (horizontal accountability) benefited from the programme with solid evidence on the extent to which the programme envisaged its objectives (summative evaluation).
