UNICEF Programme of Cooperation in Armenia
In Armenia, UNICEF works with the government and other partners to support the country’s efforts towards greater social inclusion, especially for the most deprived children.
One of the program components of the Country Program relates to increasing inclusion of children with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, including those from border areas, into mainstream education system and society.
The long-term vision of change is that, by 2025, children and adolescents exercise their talents and skills and benefit from age-appropriate, lifelong learning, inclusive and quality education in an enabling and safe environment. In the framework of the childcare system reform, UNICEF will support coordinated efforts of education, health and social and child protection systems by developing professional capacities for a holistic system at the community level.
UNICEF will promote inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream kindergartens and schools, while special schools continue transforming into teaching and care resource centres.
