Amid an escalating security crisis, the National Education Fund (FNE) released a sobering report on Wednesday, July 16, highlighting the plight of displaced children in the communes of Port-au-Prince and Delmas. “This field operation allowed us to identify 1,078 children, the majority of whom are no longer in school,” the report states.
Among them, 748 are over the age of six and have no access to structured education, while 330 younger children lack any form of early childhood support. These figures underscore a severe breakdown in access to basic education in areas plagued by violence.
The report details several key indicators, including previous school attendance, duration of displacement, and the poor living conditions in temporary shelters. It also stresses “the urgent need for tailored solutions” to support children and families in extreme vulnerability.
Described as a “strategic tool,” the report is intended to inform emergency education policies. It reaffirms that education is a fundamental right that must be upheld at all times, even in times of national crisis.
The full document is available on the official FNE website, with a QR code provided for quick access. Through this urgent appeal, the institution aims to mobilize the State and its partners to prevent an entire generation from slipping into neglect.
