Our interventions in the Education program
Skills Development;
At COSHUDO Foundation, we believe that education is about more than just acquiring knowledge; it's about developing the skills students need to thrive in the 21st century. We focus on developing a range of essential skills, including:
- Critical Thinking: The ability to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and form reasoned judgments.
- Problem-Solving: The ability to identify problems, develop solutions, and implement them effectively.
- Communication: The ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
- Collaboration: The ability to work effectively with others to achieve common goals.
- Digital Literacy: The ability to use technology effectively and responsibly.
- Creativity: The ability to generate new ideas and approaches.
- Leadership: The ability to inspire and motivate others.
- Adaptability: The ability to adjust to changing circumstances and learn new skills quickly.
- Technical and Vocational skills. Having a skill that would assure you a lifetime survival, is a big deal today considering the level of formal unemployment lately most especially in African countries.
We integrate these skills into all aspects of our programs, using active learning methodologies, project-based learning, and technology integration. We also provide opportunities for students to develop their skills through extracurricular activities, internships, and community service.

Our gender programming initiatives focus on addressing gender stereotypes, promoting girls' education, and ensuring that both boys and girls have access to quality education and support services.
Key elements include:

Community sensitization in regard to education- Partnering with the Community to promote education, building a stronger future through Community engagement, Working together to support education .
"We believe that education is a shared responsibility. We work closely with parents, community leaders, and local organizations to promote the importance of education and create a supportive environment for learning. Our community sensitization activities include parent-teacher meetings, community outreach programs, and public awareness campaigns."- Executive Director COSHUDO Foundation.

Ensuring accessible and quality Education (Vocational and main stream)
This is a program that aims at bridging the unemployed with the employment scope. Currently, many youths have at least gone to school for attaining their Primary School Education and because most of their parents do not afford paying their school fees for the further education in the secondary section and other institutes, these young boys and girls drop out of school at that early and energetic age, others go in for early marriages, teenage pregnancies begin to happen because they have got nothing to do at home.
We therefore think about starting up Community Vocational Institutes which will be aimed at imparting the young men and women (youths) who have dropped out of school at any level with the skills at hand which they will use to become job creators instead of the job seekers.
We offer quality education which enables learners to gain relevant knowledge to compete and thrive in this ever-changing world.
This is through the wholistic approach of the education we provide. We ensure to teach and train the Head, Heart and Hands.
