Tender description
The Girls Education Challenge is working to provide quality education for up to 1.5 million highly marginalised girls. Designed as a 'challenge fund', the GEC aims to find better ways of getting girls into school and ensuring they receive a quality education and learn whilst they are there. GEC projects are designed to tackle a range of barriers that prevent girls from benefiting from education. This includes contributing to more gender inclusive education systems and schools; improving teaching quality; providing tailored education support such as mentoring and bursaries; and tackling harmful social norms that prevent girls from going to school.
