Students absenteeism is a problem to many countries. School are closed during some period and when they reopen, many children who have missed a lot of school days may not return, especially if they experience new difficulties or if the existing ones have become even more severe. Particularly post-Covid when children and their families are still recovering from the impact.
Save the Children developed Catch-up Clubs (CuC) as an effort to support children in a safe return to learning. Catch-up Clubs approach integrates elements from programs that have successfully demonstrated rapid learning gains, and it builds on Save the Children’s existing expertise in community-based learning, child protection and child poverty programming.
Waliku is now supporting two projects in Malawi- Swedish Post Code Lottery (SPL) and Abwenzi A Ana (Sponsorship)- with a digital monitoring system that will track grades 3-6 students' attendance and absence rate and also reading outcome to reduce barriers to participation for vulnerable children and their families.
