The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) is supporting a short-term project in Morocco to support more than 400 vulnerable teen girls across 40 locations in the Kingdom.
The project dubbed Exam-Support Access fir Girls (E-SAG) is in partnership with Moroccan association Project Soar. As the coronavirus health crisis has affected Moroccan students due to the closure of schools, «ICESCO has provided financial and technical support to the Moroccan association, Project Soar».
The goal is to «help hundreds of Project Soar girls across the country who live under the poverty line to access the internet and supplemental online educational materials in preparation for the upcoming High School entry exam and Baccalaureat exams», ICESCO wrote in a statement sent Thursday to Yabiladi.
«At ICESCO we believe that there are few things as vital as all forms of education at all levels in various contexts. Investing in the educational support of vulnerable teen girls is an investment that will pay off every day for the next 40 to 50 years», Salim Mohamed AlMalik, from ICESCO General Director, said.
«With ICESCO support, we look forward to reinforcing our educational track record for Moroccan teen girls. On average, 90% of Project Soar Girls pass the High School Entry exam, 95% pass the Baccalaureate Exam and 94.5% go on to higher education», Maryam Montague, Project Soar Executive Director, added
