How you can help
All OLE Centres currently require a breadth of public and private sector partnerships. Participation among individuals and industries, government, and independent NGOs are all vital to the creation and sustainability of local OLE Centers, as well as the growth and success of their particular models for ensuring universal basic education by 2015.
The individuality of local circumstances, and the methods for addressing local learning systems also means that every OLE Centre offers unique investment possibilities.
