French term or phrase: scolarisation
"Prévention et éducation des jeunes (aide à la scolarisation, éducation de base et non formelle, programmes d'éveil et préscolaire...)"
This is a call for projects for an NGO providing computer equipment to social organizations in Morocco.
I believe that this means "getting kids into school".The GDT gives schooling, but I am just not satisfied with it. Any suggestions for it?
