Abstract

This publication is the result of UNESCO Bangkok’s project in cooperation with Educate A Child (EAC) which seeks to eradicate obstacles, both in policy and practice, that would prevent children in Southeast Asia from accessing primary education. The project targets out-of-school children, including those born into poverty, the disabled, migrant and stateless children, girls, those living in remote areas and ethnic minorities.
