UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job ? it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF.   For every child, Education The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does ? in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life ? in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions ? her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens ? addressing inequity ? not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.   About the Quality Education for Out-of-School Children in Paraguay. The Out-of-School Children Initiative (OOSCI) was founded and launched globally in 2010 as a partnership between UNICEF, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). It aims to support governments in developing and applying innovative approaches to better estimate the number of children that are excluded from educational opportunities, identify who are these children, and develop solutions to bring those children back to school?. In 2020, the Permanent Household Survey revealed that Paraguay has an estimated population of 7,252,672 in which the population of children and adolescents from 6-14 years old represented 1,255,101, approximately. According the MoE records, during 2021 47,048 children have dropped out of basic education (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycle) (4.8% of enrolment 2020). Moreover, the main barriers identified in the survey preventing school attendance and contributing to drop out include poverty (25.2%); family reasons intertwined with gender norms (18.3%); low perception of the importance of schooling (17.3%); and school-related reasons (14.1%). Moreover, structural barriers include a lack of investment in both quality education and technological infrastructure. Through the project, Quality Education for Out-of-School Children in Paraguay, approved by Educate a Child Programme (EAC) of Education Above All Foundation (EAA), UNICEF Paraguay will work with the Ministry of Education and implementing partners to support the enrolment of 30,000 OOSC located in six selected departments, reaching boys and girls aged 7-14 in basic education from urban and rural areas, including overaged students, children with disabilities and indigenous population. In Paraguay, primary education is named basic school education (EEB ? Educación Escolar Básica in Spanish) and comprises a 9-year cohort, grouped into three cycles, as stated in national laws establishing the educational policy as well as the structure, functions and bodies of the Ministry of Education. The strategies proposed will address demand factors (e.g., community mobilization and sensitization forums, back-to- school campaigns, etc.) and supply and quality factors (e.g., teacher training on pedagogy, remedial classes, etc.) to address critical barriers aimed at reaching the following outcomes: Outcome 1 - Increased family's perception of schooling allowing OOSC enrolment and retention in 6 selected departments. This will be done through increasing demand for education, with emphasis on strengthening the education committee's (or EGIEs') capacities in planning and developing strategies and interventions for enrolment and retention. Outcome 2 - 300 Schools across 6 departments have the capacity to implement alternative learning programs for OOSC, with an emphasis on a training programme and materials of the Open Basic Education (EBA) and Learning Reinforcement Spaces (ERA) programmes to be developed for teachers, strengthening their skills and knowledge. Outcome 3 - Improved capacity of 6 Departmental Education Councils and 15 District Education Councils to promote the enrolment and retention of OOSC in 6 selected departments. This would be accomplished by advocating for comprehensive social programmes for OOSC and their families, with an emphasis on the design and implementation of solutions for local problems, prioritizing education and assisting the distribution of school kits for 30,000 OOSC. The project, as well as UNICEF's Country Programme 2020-2024, aligns with the National Education Plan 2024; the Action Plan for Education 2018-2023; and the project ?Educational Transformation?, which aims to renew educational policies. Moreover, the project aligns with global frameworks, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UNICEF's global mandate in ?Every Children Learns? (as outlined in the UNICEF Education Strategy Framework 2019-2030) and it aligns closely with EAC's mission, vision and goals, where every individual can learn through a quality education: enrollment and retention of OOSC; quality education; cofounding & sustainability; and, OOSC at the top of national agenda.   Job organizational context:  The Education Specialist GJP is to be used in a Country Office (CO) where the Education Programme is a component of the Country Programme (or UNDAF).
