Plan Egypt's Community Learning program seeks to ensure that children, youth, and adults acquire basic learning and life skills. This can be achieved by introducing forms of community based education for all community members, especially those who are not enrolled in the formal education system or have dropped out of it. In 2008 Plan Egypt started the implementation of this intervention and has been able to support more than 29 Community schools in Kalubeya, Cairo South, Cairo East, Beheira, and 6 October. This has enabled more than 1,000 dropout girls –who live in rural and slum areas– to have a second chance to continue their education.
