    The UNICEF Education Section works with the Government of China, local partners, and communities to provide the country's most disadvantaged children with quality learning opportunities. We support government to strengthen China's education system so that it addresses the needs of the most excluded and vulnerable children, as well as ensure that girls and boys have equal access to opportunities. We also promote nurturing environments to support children develop into well-rounded individuals and facilitate smoother transition from school to work.

    The Adolescents team in the Education Section works to support the Government of China improve access to quality education for 6–18-year-old. The education programming, aiming to facilitate the transition to a child-friendly education system, takes a holistic approach through seven inter-related projects ranging from child protection in schools, STEM education, life skills, sports, inclusive education, teacher training to social and emotional learning (SEL).

    The education programming also embraces key strategic shifts with a renewed focus on upstream engagement and policy impact. It places greater emphasis on evidence-based policy and research, advocacy for children's rights and adaptation of international evidence to China's context (and vice versa). There will also be a shift from child-friendly schools to child-friendly education systems and scaling-up of adolescent programmes, particularly around integrating life skills into the technical and vocation education & training (TVET) reform process and expanding alternative learning pathways for out-of-school (OOS) adolescents in China.

    The adolescent Education team therefore seeks a consultant with strong research and evaluation expertise to provide technical support to planned education research and evaluation activities.
