Education for Empowerment

Education for empowerment refers to using learning—whether formal or informal—to enable individuals to gain confidence, skills, and knowledge that improve their ability to participate actively in society, make informed decisions, and pursue opportunities. It aims to eliminate barriers such as ignorance or lack of access, helping people realize their potential, assert their rights, and contribute meaningfully to community development. Essentially, it transforms education from mere information delivery into a tool for personal growth and social change, fostering independence and resilience.
