Kindergarten 3: Background

★ Our twin city lacks about 1000 kindergarten places for children under 6

★ Those who don’t get in early will be left behind early: The kindergartens are preschools where mainly Amharic, English and mathematics are taught

★ There are about 30 children with disabilities (blind, deaf, mental – others are not recorded) under the age of 6 – by the time they enter elementary school they are already left behind

★ Even in secondary schools, there is hardly any special support – children with disabilities simply run along or are completely excluded from educational opportunities

★ The city of Alem Katema continues to grow strongly due to a high birth rate and influx

★ The project of the partnership association should be a role model and foundation for early childhood education – also for other facilities and institutions

★ We take global responsibility with the project and make a contribution to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations: Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 4), Less Inequality (SDG 10), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Partnerships to Achieve the Goals (SDG 17)
