Singapore Save the Children Full time

**The Opportunity**

The objective of this consultancy, is to provide technical support to the Learn to Shine El Salvador project to produce a Behavioral Diagnosis, design behavioral solutions and produce a research protocol.

The Learn to Shine (Save the Children) Project proposes a comprehensive drop-out prevention model designed by Save the Children with local partners. The Project leverages behavioral science, local systems-strengthening, and data-driven and adaptive management to increase school retention by supporting Positive Youth Development (PYD), improving foundational and social-emotional learning (SEL), enhancing social cohesion and school-belonging, and ensuring safety and protection for 150,000 students across 500 schools in El Salvador.

Structural and systemic barriers, including limited economic opportunity, poor education quality, and violence, lead to high levels of school dropout-a challenge further compounded by the multiple psychological and behavioral biases underpinning education decision-making. Drivers of school dropout vary significantly across school and students and are influenced by a range of factors and identities (e.g., age, geography, school, individual and family circumstances, gender, LGBTQI+ status, and disability). As such, Save the Children will provide multi-level, differentiated, and targeted support to schools and students.

Save the Children’s Center for Utilizing Behavioral Insights for Children (CUBIC) is supporting Save the Children El Salvador country office to design, implement and evaluate behavioral science interventions in El Salvador. For this, CUBIC will hire a quantitative analyst to support some of the deliverables.
