The Education Programme could create dependency among parents. In order to achieve better results, Terre des Hommes Netherlands always seeks the other parties that specialize in these supplementary issues, so we can focus on the wider aspects of education intervention. Lobbying and advocacy can help to improve education services, by ensuring the state adheres to its obligation to provide education.

The Education Programme by Terre des Hommes Netherlands and its partners in Southeast Asia has so far given access to primary and/or secondary education to more than ten thousands children every year. Recently we also focused on early childhood education. Early childhood education services in some countries are expensive, as they are usually run by private entities. Terre des Hommes Netherlands and partners are providing quality pre-school services, especially in remote areas. This intervention is linked to a nutrition programme under the Health Programme, aims to support the full growth of these pre-school children to achieve their full potential, both physically and mentally.
