Description

Background NRC has been a key actor in the Education in Emergencies (EiE) sector in Yemen, with a well-established presence in Taiz governorate, primarily through formal education interventions. These efforts have focused on restoring access to safe and quality education for children affected by conflict and displacement, supporting school rehabilitation, teacher training, and psychosocial support. In response to the growing number of out-of-school children and adolescents who have missed years of schooling due to conflict, displacement, or poverty, NRC is introducing Non-Formal Education (NFE) programming for the first time in Taiz. The aim is to provide inclusive, flexible, and accelerated learning opportunities for children and youth who are unable to enroll or remain in formal schools. Through basic literacy and numeracy (BLN), remedial education, catch-up classes, , NRC seeks to address learning gaps and support pathways back to formal education or alternative opportunities. The Education Officer will play a central role in the first-phase rollout of NRC’s education programming in Taiz, including Non-Formal Education (NFE) and its associated components. The position is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day delivery of education activities in the field, encompassing planning and coordination, community engagement, learner identification and retention, teacher and facilitator training, and the integration of child protection and safeguarding measures within learning environments. The role also includes supporting the monitoring of children’s learning outcomes and academic progress through structured assessments and close collaboration with NRC’s MEAL team. The Education Officer will work closely with consortium partners and internal technical teams to ensure that interventions are evidence-based, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of conflict-affected and out-of-school children. This position requires a hands-on, adaptable approach and strong coordination with internal and external stakeholders to ensure quality implementation and effective delivery of education services in a new operational area.
