Thanks in part to support from ECW, UNESCO’s teacher training programme is strengthening the capacities of teachers to implement intercultural and inclusive schooling.

The initiative has expanded to include 132 schools, training over 2,000 education workers and collectively reaching more than 60,000 students. Of these students, more than 17,500 have received direct attention and of that total, more than 6,400 are Venezuelan migrants and refugees – representing approximately 8% of Venezuelan students enrolled in the formal school system of Lima and Trujillo.

Funding for the initiative is just one part of ECW’s US$7.4 million +DIVERSIDAD Multi-Year Resiliency Programme in Peru, which focuses on ensuring access to inclusive, equitable quality education for Venezuelan migrant, refugee and host-community children, including children with disabilities. +DIVERSIDAD is led by UNICEF Peru, and implemented in collaboration with UNESCO Peru, RET, HIAS, World Vision, Save the Children and Alternativa – representing a unified commitment towards fostering inclusive education for all.
