Issues and challenges affecting the education sector and supporting sub-sectors like health and WASH, and some of these are strategic and remain relevant to the work that ROCS intends to pursue in the next five years.
Access to water and sanitation is an element to enforcing quality education especially in community schools. It is also a precondition for social and economic development. ROCS will engage in various activities both hardware and software
Under-nutrition is endemic and poses a serious threat to the cognitive development and wellbeing of children. ROCS will support School Feeding Programs (SFP) as it contributes to the alleviation of short-term hunger.
Poor infrastructure and governance structures among others are the factors hampering the delivery of quality education. In this regard, ROCS will engage both primary duty bearer (MOGE) and the secondary duty bearers (parents) at community levels
Climate Change is a cross cutting issue. Effects of poor rainfall patterns, drought and floods greatly affect the education of children especially in rural areas where there are long distances to schools and the roads and bridges are bad.
The organisation will continue engaging in joint advocacy through coalitions like ZANAC, ZECDAN, ZCCN, among many others. Failure to influence decision-making and policy might subsequently mean children in these areas will not have access to lifelong learning
