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, and life skills, 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 this first-phase implementation of NFE programming in Taiz. The position is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day delivery of NFE activities in the field, including planning, community engagement, learner identification, facilitator support, and learning assessments. The officer will also work closely with NRC’s MEAL team and consortium partners to ensure that programming is evidence-based, inclusive, and responsive to the specific needs of conflict-affected and out-of-school children. This role requires a hands-on, adaptable approach and strong coordination with both internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure the successful rollout of NFE in a new operational area.
