•  ICT application for Non-formal Education Projects
  While more children are going to school than ever before, many drop out before grade five of primary school or graduate without mastering even a minimum set of literacy skills. In many countries of the Asia-Pacific region there is a lack of coordination and support for the education of these children who drop out of school, and little provision of literacy and continuing education for youth and adults.
