EDUCATION IN EMERGENCIES

The army operation in 2008/09 in north-western province against militants, forced the residents to leave their homes and towns. They were internally displaced and took shelter in camps and children were unable to continue their educational activities. In view of the situation, GET established tent schools for the children of IDP’s of Swat, Boner and Malakand in two major camps (Sheikh Yaseen Camp, Parhooti Camp). GET, along with other organizations, established separate schools for girls and boys with morning and evening programs. In these camps hundreds of children were able to get connected with their academic career. In addition to this, they were also imparted with hope, confidence and love.
