    The World Bank has offered a grant of USD5 million to increase access of out-of-school youth and adults to education in Timor-Leste. The Second Chance Education Project, according to the bank, backs the Timorese government’s basic education equivalency programs for out-of-school youth and adults, enabling them to reintegrate into the formal secondary education system and bolster their prospects of entering the work force.
