Table 3: Enrollment of children in different years in former Kinderpostzegels Supported project CLFZ government schools Name of NGO Number of children at the beginning of the project ADAA total enrollment in different years WCAT total enrollment in different years Total As in the case of the CLFZ project schools of ADAA and WCAT higher number of children were enrolled during the initial period of the project (13,503) showing decline at the end of the project being 12,777 (table 3). This according to the WEO and school principals is because of opening of new schools near villages that drawing new entrants to other schools as well as the enrollment of many out-ofschool children during the first several years of the project reducing the backlog. Generally however, a large number of children are still enrolled in CLFZ two years after the end of the project showing that children are saved from child labor and are in school.(please refer to annex 1-3 for details on enrollment per implementing partner NGO). There was no school that did not increase its number of classrooms with the exception of Afer Gebeya Primary school in Este woreda which couldn’t due to resources shortage but is preparing to construct now), all the visited schools have increased the number of their classrooms. All the schools including Afer Gebeya primary school have additional teachers assigned by the WEO. Therefore it is evident that the schools have continued to evolve after the end of the project on the aspects of physical infrastructure and human resources (teachers in particular) with resources from WEOs and the community and schools’ internal income.
