Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To remove children from child labour in the cotton fields and send them back to school, the CLEAR Cotton project worked with the Ministries of Education and local partners to set up<\/strong> school reintegration programmes<\/strong> in Mali, Burkina Faso and Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Mali and Burkina Faso, under the Accelerated Schooling Strategy<\/strong> (Strat\u00e9gie de scolarisation acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e \u2013 passerelle – SSA\/P<\/em>), children in or at risk of child labour were enrolled in specially-established education centres<\/strong>. The children were provided with a one-year accelerated education course that enabled them to acquire the basic skills and knowledge to (re)integrate into mainstream schools.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Pakistan, a similar non-formal education model<\/strong> provided an abbreviated version of primary education in a 3-year programme<\/strong>, preparing children withdrawn from child labour for primary-level examinations.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
