This is due to population displacement linked to various armed conflicts, as well as public education programmes that are ill-suited to the needs of students and the concerns of communities.<\/p>\n<p>For most children, starting or returning to school is impossible.<\/p>\n<p>In public schools, lessons are taught in French, the official language, which is not understood by the majority of children whose mother tongue is one of Niger&#8217;s eleven local languages. Young people thus fail at school and have to drop out without acquiring basic knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Download <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Education_Niger_Mandat_Fiche-projet.pdf\"><b><u>the project summary<\/u><\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    \n    <section class=\"leftTextRightImg \" style=\"display:\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"leftTextRightImgRow\">\n                                    <div class=\"right\">\n                                                    <div class=\"imgBlock\">\n                                <a class=\"figure_block\" href=\"https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920.webp\" data-fancybox data-caption=\"\u00a9 Swisscontact\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920.webp\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1920;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920.webp 1920w, https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/edm.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RS1483_Niger_mandat_1920-1536x1536.webp 1536w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/a>\n                                <figcaption>\u00a9 Swisscontact<\/figcaption>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"left\">\n                        <div class=\"content\">\n                            <h2>                                Enabling Young People who Have Dropped out of School to Return to Education or Employment <small><\/small>\n                            <\/h2>                                                            <p>The Nigerien government has worked with local authorities to develop Community Centres for Alternative Education for Young People (CCEAJ) to improve the situation of young people who have dropped out of school.
