Accelerated education program

A flexible, age-appropriate program that promotes access to education in an accelerated time frame for disadvantaged groups, over-age out-of-school children and youth, and youth who missed out or had their education interrupted due to poverty, marginalization, conflict, and crisis. The goal of AEP is to provide learners with equivalent certified competencies for basic education and learning approaches that match their level of cognitive maturity.
