Enhance Access Beyond Primary Education
Description: The primary objective of the Girls’ Lower Secondary Education Programme (GLSEP) is to facilitate increased access to education for girls beyond the primary level in selected marginalized districts. This objective will be achieved through targeted initiatives, such as cash transfers, incentives, and awareness campaigns, aimed at removing barriers stemming from poverty, cultural norms, and early marriages.
Improve Infrastructure and Learning Environment
Description: The second objective of GLSEP is to enhance the learning environment and infrastructure within the program districts. This includes improvements to school facilities to create safe, conducive, and gender-sensitive spaces for education. These enhancements will lead to an overall enhancement in the quality of education provided to girls, ensuring they have the opportunity to access quality learning experiences.
