Resume
Soiya Women's Independent Organization (SWO) og Skoleliv i Nepal ønsker at påbegynde en udvidelse af SWOs arbejde med ”quality education.” Interventionen skal mobilisere den offentlige skoles interessenter på fem offentlige skoler i Devdaha kommune med særligt fokus på forældrenes rolle som rettighedshavere og lærere og ledelses rolle som ansvarshavere (duty bearers). Interventionen skal afklare hvilke udfordringer interessenterne selv ser som væsentlige for at skabe højere kvalitet i uddannelsen i de pågældende skoler, og hvad de forestiller sig, at de involverede interessenter kan gøre for at støtte op om en positiv forandring. Interventionen skal herefter øget samarbejdet mellem forældre og skole for at påbegynde de ønskede forandringer.
