Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, we offer non-formal education programmes, often in remote villages. Programmes include tutorial assistance for primary and secondary school pupils in English, Maths and Science, Kankor (the local university entrance examination) practice, and internationally accredited ICT programmes and English programmes for students aged 16 and up. We also operate ECD centres, some of which have offered telephone support to parents during the Covid-19 closures.

The Lycée also undertakes outreach to share knowledge beyond its own students. It offers learning support programmes to students at government schools, an annual summer camp, a youth leadership forum and professional development for teachers.
