Project Overview
The Gateway Project, funded by USAID and implemented by Save the Children Yemen, aims to expand equitable access to quality education for Yemeni children in both host and displaced communities. To support enrollment, retention, and learning outcomes, the project leverages a digital application designed to track student attendance, test scores, and learning performance. By integrating attendance and learning data, the system enables teachers, social workers, and education authorities to identify children at risk, respond promptly to absenteeism, and allocate resources effectively. Gateway+ enhances this approach by engaging social workers in schools to provide immediate follow-up with families and ensure sustained student participation in education.
Objectives
Track Student Enrollment and Retention: Capture real-time data on enrollment, dropouts, transitions, and graduates across NFE and formal schools.
Monitor Attendance: Record attendance patterns, flag chronic absenteeism, and enable timely interventions for at-risk learners.
Assess Learning Outcomes – Collect and analyze student test results in literacy, numeracy, and resilience to monitor progress over time.
Support Teacher Monitoring: Track teacher participation, training, and incentive support for NFE classes.
Enable Data-Driven Decision-Making: Provide timely, actionable insights for social workers, schools, and MoE to strengthen education planning, monitoring, and accountability.
Key Insights
Enrollment Trends: Number of learners enrolled and retained in NFE and formal schools, disaggregated by gender, age, disability, and class type.
Dropout & Transition Patterns: Reasons for dropout and transition rates to formal schools provide visibility into barriers to retention.
Attendance Behavior: Identification of chronic and severe absenteeism enables targeted follow-up with families.
Learning Progress: Comparison of baseline and endline literacy, numeracy, and resilience levels highlights student progress and program effectiveness.
Teacher Engagement: Tracking trained teachers and incentive-supported staff ensures sustainability of NFE delivery.
