School Revitalization
School Revitalization Hardware and Software is a comprehensive program of EFA Foundation aimed at improving the quality, safety, and effectiveness of learning environments through integrated physical and non physical interventions. The program recognizes that sustainable education outcomes require both adequate infrastructure and strong institutional capacity.
The program contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 on Quality Education, while also supporting SDG 9 on Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, SDG 10 on Reduced Inequalities, SDG 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities, and SDG 17 on Partnerships for the Goals. By addressing both physical facilities and educational systems, the program supports inclusive and equitable access to quality education.
The hardware component focuses on revitalizing school infrastructure to create safe, inclusive, and child friendly learning spaces. This includes the improvement of classrooms, sanitation facilities, libraries, laboratories, digital infrastructure, and accessibility features that support students with diverse needs. All interventions are designed to meet safety standards, environmental sustainability principles, and local community contexts.
The software component strengthens the human and institutional dimensions of education. It includes teacher capacity development, school leadership support, curriculum enhancement, digital literacy, student wellbeing initiatives, and school governance improvement. The program emphasizes pedagogical quality, innovation, and the effective use of revitalized facilities to enhance learning outcomes.
School Revitalization Hardware and Software is implemented through a collaborative approach involving local governments, school communities, education practitioners, private sector partners, and civil society organizations. Through integrated planning, implementation, and evaluation, the program ensures that investments in school revitalization lead to long term educational improvement and sustainable social impact.
This program reflects EFA Foundation’s commitment to building resilient education systems by aligning infrastructure development with human capacity and institutional strengthening.
