LESSON

Lesson Learned: Learning and Living Democracy in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Through the advocacy of local education authority representatives the project was able to reach more effectively the communities who were affected by the non-accessibility of education to Roma children and children with special needs

Project Description
The project identified institutional educational weaknesses and proposed pragmatic approaches to address them. Overall the project was a success. The following elements contributed to the quality of the strategy: an appropriate response to the complex political and social context in the country drawn from the NGO‟s long time experience; a sound assessment of the political context based on long term partnership with education ministries in Bosnia and a good understanding of the targeted audience needs, based on the grantee’s experience of certifying teachers and their involvement in official curricula content design taught in all public schools.
