SOMALIA: Education Management System
SECTOR: Education
DEMOGRAPHIC:
Teachers who are working with schools in fragile and insecure locations.
Children and young people.
HUMANITARIAN NEED:
Resilience building, prevention of school dropout, youth training and livelihoods.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
We are seeking a solution in tracking enrollment and retention of children in schools. A lot of resources have gone into enrollment campaigns in the effort towards promoting access to education in Somalia. WV is looking for a mobile phone application that teachers can use to track daily attendance of all children in primary school. The platform can be monitored remotely by both WV in the schools we are supporting. For parents/caregivers with mobile phones, they can receive a notification if their children are marked as absent to also deal with truancy cases. This would provide evidence based data to our donors on other initiatives such as improved school governance by the community education committees who are also charged with ensuring children don't drop out of schools.
