Background:

Save the Children UK is the leading UK charity working to create a better world for children in some of the most impoverished communities.

Save the Children’s UK initial involvement in Afghanistan dates back to 1976 when it established and supported health services outside Kabul. During the 1980s, Save the Children UK managed an extensive health program for refugee populations in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP), and extended this work in 1980-94 to the fields of community health and training. In 1994, Save the Children UK took the first steps towards re-establishing a national program in Afghanistan, initiating a project to rehabilitate rural primary schools and support teacher training in Herat. This program was suspended after Taliban intervention preventing girls’ education.

After the fall of the Taliban regime, Save the Children UK returned to Mazar-I-Sharif. Besides substantial relief work during the first six months of 2002, Save the Children UK developed a basic health program and child protection work focusing on working street children and other vulnerable groups.

Currently, Save the Children UK operates in the provinces of Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh, and Jawzjan. Our current work includes providing basic health services, working and street children centers, child rights and protection, and emergency services.

BACKGROUND
Afghanistan is now moving gradually towards the journey of reconstruction, which is both challenging and delicate. In the last two years, some 2.5 million of an estimated 5.9 million refugees returned home and around 600,000 internally displaced populations have moved back to their areas of origin. The country now has a democratic constitution, with a long-term vision for reconstruction. However, despite these emerging prospects, there are enormous challenges head.

The Afghanistan government is aware of these factors and has set education as a national priority. Afghanistan has witnessed a significant leap in student enrolment especially in Grades 1-12. According to Ministry of Education (MoE), 4.3 million students have enrolled in grade 1-12 in 2003, of which 3.9 million are in primary schools. MoE further claims that 45% of school-aged children, including 40% girls, are in schools at present.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Quality Primary Education Project (QPEP) funded by the Dutch government via Save the Children Netherlands serves two primary objectives:

1. Objective 1: Increase enrollment and regular attendance of out of school children via time bound, non-formal education ‘bridging courses’

2.Objective 2: Improve access to and quality of primary schools through adopting a ‘whole school approach’ involving key stakeholders

The program will be implemented in four phases with the initial phase beginning in Kabul province (excluding Kabul City) in May 2005.

The fundamental focus of the project is to enroll out of school children in formal school while simultaneously improving the quality of the school itself. This will occur with the creation of up to 32 learning centers that are directly linked to 32 specific primary schools (divided between the four provinces). From the onset, while out of school children are receiving accelerated learning courses in the learning center, the school itself will receive training and materials to encourage the creation of a child friendly school, active learning techniques, alternatives to corporal punishment, and skills to work with disrupted learners.

Duties & Responsibilities:

1. Maintain documentation and filling system in accordance with Save the Children UK systems and procedures.
2. Maintain QPEP inventory and assets.
3. Provide general administrative and clerical assistance, including operating office equipment and preparing documents and correspondence.
4. Ensure office equipments are kept in optimum working order, through correct usage and periodic maintenance.

6. Manage appointments, meetings and guests.
7. Assist with national recruitment process in coordination with supervisor, including posting job announcements, receiving and sorting applications, arranging interviews.
8. Written translations from Dari, Pashto and English.
9. Any other task delegated by education senior staff.

Qualifications required:

1. Clear understanding of office procedures.
2. Fluency Dari, Pashto and English.

Background:

Save the Children UK is the leading UK charity working to create a better world for children in some of the most impoverished communities.

Save the Children’s UK initial involvement in Afghanistan dates back to 1976 when it established and supported health services outside Kabul. During the 1980s, Save the Children UK managed an extensive health program for refugee populations in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP), and extended this work in 1980-94 to the fields of community health and training. In 1994, Save the Children UK took the first steps towards re-establishing a national program in Afghanistan, initiating a project to rehabilitate rural primary schools and support teacher training in Herat. This program was suspended after Taliban intervention preventing girls’ education.

After the fall of the Taliban regime, Save the Children UK returned to Mazar-I-Sharif. Besides substantial relief work during the first six months of 2002, Save the Children UK developed a basic health program and child protection work focusing on working street children and other vulnerable groups.

Currently, Save the Children UK operates in the provinces of Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh, and Jawzjan. Our current work includes providing basic health services, working and street children centers, child rights and protection, and emergency services.

BACKGROUND
Afghanistan is now moving gradually towards the journey of reconstruction, which is both challenging and delicate. In the last two years, some 2.5 million of an estimated 5.9 million refugees returned home and around 600,000 internally displaced populations have moved back to their areas of origin. The country now has a democratic constitution, with a long-term vision for reconstruction. However, despite these emerging prospects, there are enormous challenges head.

The Afghanistan government is aware of these factors and has set education as a national priority. Afghanistan has witnessed a significant leap in student enrolment especially in Grades 1-12. According to Ministry of Education (MoE), 4.3 million students have enrolled in grade 1-12 in 2003, of which 3.9 million are in primary schools. MoE further claims that 45% of school-aged children, including 40% girls, are in schools at present.
