Fewer children out of school
Grants through SUBEB let school committees build classrooms, add junior secondary blocks and girls' toilets in the schools that need them most.
Why this matters
This results area is about fairness. It makes sure state education money reaches the most disadvantaged schools, improves learning conditions there, and gives children a way to continue to junior secondary school in communities that do not have one. It also helps each state set up a lasting way to share resources fairly beyond the programme.
Disbursement-linked indicator
State infrastructure budget allocated to underserved communities to improve learning conditions in primary schools and improve access to junior secondary schools.
Result 1: Development of the school network
Each state builds a school network covering all primary and junior secondary schools, using geo-coded school infrastructure audit data and population estimates for school-age children.
Result 2: Grants to underserved communities
School-Based Management Committees (SBMCs) receive grants through the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to:
- extend existing primary schools into junior secondary schools
- add new classroom blocks
- renovate primary school buildings
- provide separate WASH facilities for girls
Schools are chosen through infrastructure audits, starting with those with the greatest needs. Success is measured by the number of boys and girls gaining access to schools with improved learning conditions.
