The amount would help to carry out a project, to be launched in June of this year, to enroll around 100,000 children, who have no access to education, Abdul-Razzaq al-Ashwal said upon his arrival to Yemen after his participation in the second-high ministerial meeting organized by Educate A Child initiative in Doha and concluded last Thursday. The project is the first of its kind as a direct intervention targeted children and it is consistent with the Ministry's 2013-2015 mid-term plan under the Education National Master Plan, he said. Educate A Child is a new global initiative launched by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser of Qatar, which aims to significantly reduce the numbers of children worldwide who are missing out on their right to education. It is working with a broad range of international, national and local partners to reach the world's poorest and most marginalized out of school children. Its focus is on nurturing innovative approaches to reach these children, and on replicating and scaling-up successful programmes.
