Youth work together at a inclusive computer education class at the LEC of Ali-Sabbieh in Djibouti.
The LEC Centre of Ali-Sabbieh, run by the Catholic schools in the country, hosts more than 240 children, including 11 children with special needs. The classes offer children who are not in formal education the opportunity to continue their education. The most vulnerable children face difficulties in accessing education services. The centre runs also series of vocational training aiming at empowering young adolescents.
In Djibouti, most of the undocumented families and children face difficulties to access to social services, including education. UNICEF, in close collaboration with other partners, is supporting the Government in running a series of programmes targeting out-of-schools children – including migrants and undocumented children. The LEC centre also hosts street and refugees children.
According to the Minister of Education routine statistics, the gross enrolment ratio in primary school was 78 per cent in 2016. The majority of out-of-school children (20 per cent, according to government estimates) are those with special needs, children from nomadic communities, girls in rural areas, children of vulnerable families, and migrant and refugee children.
