Two fists bumping in solidarity, showing collaboration

Ansanm, nou ka kreye yon avni ki pi briyan pou tout elèv yo.

Antanke paran, nou tout vle sa ki pi bon pou pitit nou yo, ki gen ladan yon bon kalite edikasyon ki mete yo kanpe pou siksè.

Malerezman, sistèm edikasyon an pa toujou jis ak ekitab, ak kèk timoun ki gen plis aksè a resous ak opòtinite pase lòt. Sa afekte tout moun, paske li limite potansyèl pitit nou yo epi li ka mennen nan rezilta negatif tankou pi ba pousantaj gradyasyon ak mwens opòtinite karyè.

Paran yo kòm patnè

CPLAN te fonde an 2016 pa yon gwoup manman ki te pran pozisyon pou edikasyon pitit yo. Yo te reyalize ke pou fè yon enpak, yo te bezwen travay ansanm ak kolektivman pouse tounen kont sistèm edikasyon an. Paske nan fen jounen an, anpil vwa pi fò pase yon sèl.

Nou kwè ke paran yo, manm kominote yo, ak anplwaye lekòl yo bezwen travay ansanm pou kreye chanjman ki nesesè ak dirab nan sistèm edikasyon an. Nou konnen si nou bay bonjan resous, fòmasyon ak sipò, tout paran ak manm kominote a kapab fè pati chanjman sa a. Se poutèt sa CPLAN fè efò pou kreye opòtinite pou paran yo antre nan pouvwa yo epi mete elèv yo sou yon chemen ki mennen nan siksè pou tout lavi yo.
