Child Protection Education
VBHES signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with schools to implement child protection policies, training teachers and SMCs in safeguarding practices. These policies protect approximately 4,000 children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Cox’s Bazar Host Community Education Program
Launched in 2025, the Cox’s Bazar program targets 10 host community schools, serving around 3,000 students. Key components include: Teacher Training: Approximately 150 teachers receive training in inclusive pedagogy, classroom management, and child-centered learning, improving instructional quality by about 30%. SMC Training: School Management Committees in all 10 schools are trained in governance, child protection, and resource mobilization, enhancing school accountability and community involvement. Awareness Sessions: Sessions on child protection, safeguarding, and adolescent SRHR reach approximately 2,000 students and parents, promoting safe school environments and informed decision-making. This initiative strengthens local education systems, ensuring sustainability and alignment with national standards.
