 will implement the SERVE comprehensive model of Inclusive Education (IE) to improve access to and quality of education for CwD in 15 government schools in the Kalakan district of Kabul province. The model includes the following: 1. Establishment of and su

y of Education (MoE) in order to bring over-age children into the government school system. These children have either missed out on school or dropped out and are too old according to the MoE's enrolment rules to (re-) enter school at the appropriate grade
 level. The MoE?s ALP allows over-age Afghan children to complete two cycles of education in one calendar year using the regular MoE curriculum so that after 3 calendar years primary education (grades 1-6) is completed and the children can (re)enter the fo
rmal education system at the grade 7 level closer to their peers (max of 2-3 years age difference). The ALP represents the only entry point for over-age children into the formal education system.The project also includes an advocacy component in which staf
