WOMEN FROM ROMA, ASHKALI AND EGYPTIAN COMMUNITIES IN OBILIQ/OBILIĆ IMPROVED THEIR ACCESS TO INFORMAL EDUCATION

In March 2022, DRC’s implementing partner NGO Teach for Kosova has started implementation of the informal educational activity which aims to reduce illiteracy among women from Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities in Plemetinë/a, Obiliq/ć Municipality.

In the first phase, taking place during March-May 2022, ten women take the classes where they learn how to read and write. The classes are carried out by two fellows engaged by Teach for Kosova.

At first, women underwent an evaluation test in order to assess their reading and writing skills. Then, fellows commenced with the teaching program. The activities are being held three times per week, and the women have shown an interest in attending the lessons regularly.

This activity is implemented within the project "Empowering adults, youth and children from Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities through education" which is supported by Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and funded by Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), represented by Swedish Embassy in Pristina
