SITUATION OVERVIEW
The socio-political crisis of Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon have been ongoing since 2016. Schools have unfortunately been one of the main targets during this crisis. During the 2021-2022 academic year, 66% of schools in both regions were still closed, and for the 2022-2023 school year, 54% of schools still remain closed; caus-ing the displacement of about 200,000 school-aged children, most of who remain out of school.
The education cluster which has been activated since 2018, continues to respond to the emergency education needs of both displaced and host community children. The cluster partners have operational presence in 12 divisions of the Southwest and Northwest regions: As of the 30th of June 2023, 30 implementing partners have successfully reached children and adults with educational opportunities.
